Consistent in her last two starts at city level, Molly Nails returned to the winners’ circle today at Moruya’s Showcase meeting in the $50,000 Class 3, showing her trademark turn of foot to get home and break the 1200m track record in the process.
Settling in midfield under Nick Heywood, Molly Nails travelled up strongly at the top of the straight and powered home in great style to fend off recent Highway winner Underground Music.
This was Molly Nails’ third win from just seven starts to date, and she now will be targeted towards the Nowra edition of the Country Championships on February 13th. She was retained for racing by her breeder Fergus Doyle, and was secured in utero by JHB at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, being out of the high-class New Zealand 2YO Maritimo, who has a Fastnet Rock filly heading to the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale this year. Maritimo also has a lovely Pariah filly foal and is in foal to King’s Legacy.
