Bright Future for Promising Blueblood

Tara Madgwick - Thursday December 29
A $300,000 investment at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale looks like paying dividends for well-known breeders and racing men John Cornish and Alan Osburg.

Three year-old O'Reilly filly Axiomatic looked good when breaking her maiden by more than seven lengths at Kembla on December 10 and she followed up with another classy effort to beat the colts and geldings at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Prepared by Chris Waller, Axiomatic relished the 1600 metre journey to power home and win by a length, her second win from four starts.

"The last 100-metres certainly showed her class," Waller said.

"I think she's got the makings of a really nice middle distance horse. She's got a lovely long loping action, gets her head down low and I think that will see her stretch out to 2000-metres."

Axiomatic as a yearlingBred by Alan Galbraith and foaled and raised at Willow Park Stud, Axiomatic is a half-sister by O'Reilly to dual Group I winner Xtravagant and Group III winner He's Remarkable, who was also Group I placed.

"He's (Xtravagant) obviously the pin up boy from New Zealand at the moment and I think she's well on the way to doing some of those things herself," Waller said.

Winning rider Tye Angland was also full of praise for Waller's progressive filly.

"It took her probably half a furlong to wind up and get balanced but the further she got the better she got," Angland said.

"It even took me a little bit to pull her up."

Purchased by Ric Wylie Bloodstock, Axiomatic is the fifth winner for unraced Zabeel mare Axiom, a daughter of Group II AJC Villiers Stakes winner Arletty.

She is bred on the same O'Reilly x Zabeel cross as Group I winning fillies Silent Achiever and O'Marilyn.

Willow Park will offer the current yearling from Axiom, a colt by Redoute's Choice, at the 2017 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
