Check out the connections in this tale:

SPECIAL DEAL (a 4yo entire by Peintre Celebre ex Blaze the Turf) won the first race at Wangaratta yesterday by 2.5 lengths. The horse is trained by John Ledger and owned by Mrs K J Ledger & D W Strain.

Special Deal's half-sister - SOLEIL (a 3yo filly by Flying Spur ex Blaze the Turf) won the second race at Wangaratta by 2.3 lengths. Soleil is also trained by John Ledger (and is owned by D W Strain & Mrs K J Ledger!)

It was the first win for both horses.

As if there weren't enough coincidences in all that, you may be intrigued to know that the the owners bred both horses - and they also raced the dam - BLAZE THE TURF (whose 4 wins included the Autumn Stakes (G3) and Zeditave Stakes (L/R)). Ledger trained Blaze the Turf as well.
