Blanc de Blanc breaks her maiden at Newcastle
It was with great anticipation that blue-blooded filly Blanc de Blanc took her place for her debut this weekend at Newcastle over the 900m scamper, and she didn’t disappoint, travelling up beautifully under Champion jockey James McDonald, and always holding the runner up to the line, their final 600m in a very fast 32.93s.
She was the latest runner for our Filly Partnership, which we have put together with Michael Freedman, and is bred in the purple. She is by Champion sire I Am Invincible and out of Another Sunday, a half-sister to Group 1 winning filly Oohood (also by I Am Invincible) and a three-quarter sister to King’s Legacy and Not a Single Doubt - one of Australia’s very best families. She now heads to the $500,000 Inglis Nursery at Randwick on Saturday 10th December.
Congratulations to her owners Gary Diamond, Mike and Anna Symons, Kevin & Lesley Maloney, Saskia Wiliams, Peter Fekete, Tom Kennedy, Michael Vukadinovic, Scott & Lisa Murray, Frank Calabria, Stephen Gorry, Brodie Arnhold and Will McTaggert.
Later on the same card another of our Filly Partnership purchases, Tragara, broke through after some very good runs at city level, winning her maiden by upwards of three lengths under Keagan Latham. She is by Champion sire Written Tycoon and out of the stakes-performed Charge Forward mare Ariaz. With this win now under her belt she should gain great confidence going forward next preparation.
Congratulations to her owners Kevin & Lesley Maloney, Tom Kennedy, John O’Neill, Gary Diamond, Colin Russell, Mike & Anna Symons, Tony Symons, Michael Vukadinovic and Saskia Wiliams.
Huge thanks to Michael Freedman and his team, who presented both fillies in outstanding order.
Tragara powers away to victory
