Satin Ribbons pictured as a foal with her dam, Satin Shoes
Having always shown electric speed in her trials, Satin Ribbons had to demonstrate the tenacity to overcome a very wide trip at Newcastle on the weekend, and did so to gain a hard-fought victory, despite very little going right for her.
She became the 17th winner for her sire, JHB yearling purchase Capitalist, who currently leads the first-season sire table for winners.
She is the third winner from three to race for her dam, Satin Shoes, who was a JHB yearling purchase for her owners Edmund and Belinda Bateman and won the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes and was also third in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes. She has already produced the Listed Gimcrack Stakes winner Satin Slipper (by Pierro) and the Sydney city winner Satin Socks (by Medaglia d’Oro) from her first two foals to race, both, like Satin Ribbons, trained by Peter and Paul Snowden.
Satin Shoes has an outstanding I Am Invincible filly on the ground who will be retained to race, is in foal to Zoustar and likely returns to I Am Invincible for 2021.
