Smart Win for Kind Heart

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday March 11
The opening race at Randwick on Wednesday was won by nicely bred Shamardal (USA) filly Kind Heart, a $160,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Astute Bloodstock from the draft of Torryburn Stud.

Kind Heart as a yearlingFrom the last crop of Australian conceived foals by former Darley shuttler Shamardal, Kind Heart showed the benefit of recent racing when she settled well for Hugh Bowman from an outside gate and found the line strongly.

She let down with a good turn of foot and kept going to the line to win the 1100 metre maiden by a long neck carrying the familiar colours of well-known owner Peter Horwitz.

The John Thompson trained filly is entered for the $500,000 Group II Arrowfield Sprint at Randwick on April 11 and now that she's broken the ice could easily keep right on improving.

Bred and offered for sale by Torryburn, Kind Heart is the fifth winner from five to race from Group III winner Natural Woman.

Torryburn Stud will present a select draft of seven for the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale. Click here to see the draft.
