Rewarding Debut for Brilliant Filly

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 27
Scoring a blazing front running win at Moonee Valley on Friday night was promising two year-old Reward for Effort filly Blondie.

Blondie - Grant CourtneyTrained by Brendan McCarthy, Blondie was fast from the gates and did best in the early speed battle to eventually take the lead.

She found another gear turning for home with Damien Oliver steering the filly to a dominant length and three-quarter win in the 1000 metre scamper.

Retained to race by her breeders Innisfree Thoroughbreds, Blondie is the fourth winner from four to race from former speedy General Nediym mare Divine Princess, a half-sister to Group III winner Commanding Hope.

Blondie is a bright prospect for Chatswood Stud's Reward for Effort, who won the 2009 MRC Diamond Stakes.

He has 22 entries for the 2017 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, click here to see them.
