Coolmore shuttler Power became the first of this year's Australasian freshman sires to post a winner when his daughter Gift Of Power burned off her rivals to score in a 4f maiden at Wanganui in New Zealand on Saturday.

The Graeme and Debbie Rogerson-trained filly was also the first southern-hemisphere runner for the son of Oasis Dream.

Power shuttles to Cambridge Stud in New Zealand and the operation's supremo Sir Patrick Hogan bred Gift Of Power and retained a stake in her when she was sold for NZ$180,000 (£98,785/€117,700) as a yearling at Karaka this year.
