STR Strikes Pay Dirt with Race to Race Double At Port Augusta
Sunday, 24 Aug 2025
It was a day for celebration at STR with a stable double at Port Augusta this afternoon, that included career win 350 for Stephen Theodore.
Pirate continued his dominance of the dirt in Race 1, securing his third win for the Port Augusta Racing Season. Much like his previous wins, Sairyn Fawke got to work early on the son of Merchant Navy, and drove him to the front, where he ran his rivals ragged, kicking away around the home turn for an emphatic victory. Pirate and the Fawkelift have formed a formidable partnership in recent times and their affinity for the dirt is paying dividends for the stable and connections.
It didn't take long for the stable to strike again, with The Streaker getting the job done in Race 2 under the steering of Polly Brewster. The 4-year-old bay gelding was first up for the preparation and was able to handle the dirt conditions as Stephen had hoped to break his maiden for the team at Peninsula Bloodstock. Brewster was successful in landing the gelding behind the leaders in a stalking position and she made her move rounding the home turn to head the leader and they were able to outmuscle the filly late to secure the win.
The 5-year-old chestnut gelding Sumadartson rounded out the day in Race 5 and almost secured a treble for the stable when running 2nd to the well backed Jinsoku. The son of Nostradamus was admirable in defeat in his first up run for the preparation and will be one to follow next start for his big band of owners.
