Belle of the Turf Winner for Bjorn

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 13

The Bjorn Baker stable can do no wrong at present and claimed another feature race win at Gosford on Friday with quality mare Imposing Lass taking out the Group III Belle of the Turf Stakes providing a good update for her Karaka bound half-brother.

Beaten into second place last Saturday at Warwick Farm, the daughter of Makfi (GB) relished the quick back up and step up to 1600 metres to win the $150,000 contest by a length as favourite.

A $120,000 NZB Premier purchase from the Westbury stud draft for Paul Willetts, Imposing Lass (pictured Steve Hart) has won five of 10 starts and this is her second Black Type win as she won the Listed Gold Coast Bracelet last season at three.

Imposing Lass is a half-sister to Group III winners Full of spirit and Lady Cumquat being from the good producing Zabeel mare Imposingly.

Westbury Stud will offer the current yearling from Imposingly, a colt by Epsom Derby winner Camelot (GB) at the NZB Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 207.
