The Russell brothers have bred Donna Beel, which is out of Zabeel from Dorotea Dior.
"They bought Dorotea Dior for about $200,000 in Sydney," he said, lauding the Russells for supporting the Bay by putting their trust in trainers such as himself and Sue Thompson.
Bary's other victory on Thursday came on Tiger Tim with jockey Jonathan Riddell in the saddle, crossing the finish line 3 lengths ahead of the Gary Vile-trained The Quiet Man and jockey Nivesh Teeluck with Suggest Gold and apprentice Rebecca Goldsbury a long neck behind.
It was the 3-year-old Bay gelding's second victory from three starts.
"He's a horse who was meant to be sold after his first win [on Melbourne Cup Day last November] in Otaki to trainer Chris Waller in Sydney.
"But he got hurt in the paddock - nothing major but just a bone chip so the owners had him operated on and that stopped the sale so luckily I got him," he said of the gelding that Peter Gillespie, former owner of Ezibuy, and Bill Gleeson, Wellfield Stud operator in Palmerston North, own.
Asked what was in store for Tiger Tim, from Alamosa-Zatiger (by Zabeel) and Donna Beel, Bary replied: "Honestly, I don't know because I haven't had time to think about either of them."
In keeping with sporting tradition, he likened Tiger Tim to All Black Brodie Retallick.
"Like Brodie he'll take time to deliver because he's a powerful bugger," he said of the horse juxtaposed to the former Hawke's Bay Magpie who stands at 2.04m and weighs 120kg.
Yesterday Bary was straight into jump-outs in Hastings with 19 horses, five winning and most of the rest finishing second.
Jump-outs are for educating the young and blowing away the cobwebs from the older ones.
Miss Selby, Mae West and Lady Zafira shone but filly Miss Wilson, half sister to Bary's all-time favourite, Jimmy Choux, caught Riddell's eye.
