More
Than Ready filly Chain Of Fools is your classic ready-made racehorse after she
streeted her opponents to win heat seven by over seven lengths.
A racy type trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Chain Of Fools showed good
speed to lead the heat but she soon put herself into a different class to the
others when she slipped them easily at the top of the straight.
Given the time of 51.24, it's an effort which perhaps should be tempered a
little with questionable opposition but there was no doubt it was an impressive
win for a filly that will be one of the favourites if she holds up for a race like
the Gimcrack Stakes.
Chain Of Fools was a $145,000 purchase from the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling
Sale to the bid of Gai Waterhouse, Julian Blaxland and Dermot Farrington from
the draft of Kia-Ora Stud.
She is by More Than Ready out of South Australian stakes winning mare Burgeis,
by Catbird, from a family that harks back to Golden Slipper winner Stratum.
