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."
Bred 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.
