Spendthrift Filly Breaks Maiden

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 1
Spendthrift Farm have been making their presence felt at Australasian yearling sales in recent years and tasted success at Wyong on Wednesday with three year-old More Than Ready (USA) filly Terminally Pretty, a $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Widden Stud draft.

Terminally Pretty as a yearlingPrepared by Team Hawkes, Terminally Pretty was resuming from a spell following two runs last September and zoomed home from the tail of the field to claim a fast finishing half head win as favourite.

She covered the 1000 metres in a brisk 57.30 seconds and looks well worth following out of the race.

Bred by Widden Stud in partnership, Terminally Pretty is the second winner for US stakes-winner Moon de French (USA), a daughter of Malibu Moon, who stands at Spendthrift Farm Kentucky at a fee of $75,000.

Widden Stud will offer the current yearling from Moon de French, a colt by Sebring, at the 2017 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale as Lot 244.

Moon de French produced a colt last spring by Redoute's Choice and is now in foal to Zoustar.
