Blanc de Blanc had a very fruitful 2YO season, which saw her finish runner up in both the $2m Inglis Millennium and the Group 3 Magic Night Stakes as well as third in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes and be the first filly home in the Group 1 Golden Slipper. Her 3YO season was blighted by setbacks and wet tracks, and we only managed to run her twice.
This weekend saw her return as an imposing 4YO mare now, and with a smooth preparation leading in, she produced an impressive return in the 1100m BM78 at Rosehill. Settled toward midfield by jockey James McDonald, she sprinted hard in the final stages, with only the progressive and still-unbeaten Briasa in front of her on the line.
With 59.5kgs, Blanc de Blanc was effectively conceding Briasa 4.5kgs at WFA, which makes her effort all the more meritorious, as does her outstanding final 600m split of 32.94 seconds, the third fastest for the entire day.
Blanc de Blanc was purchased for our Filly Partnership alongside her trainer Michael Freedman at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale in 2022. Her owners can now very much look forward to a positive 4YO campaign with this exciting mare having returned in such good order.
