One to Watch – Geelong

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday March 28
The Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable don't produce a lot of winners at Geelong, but this half-sister to Golden Slipper winner Sepoy certainly caught the eye.

A homebred for Emirates Park, three year-old Eavesdropper (USA) filly Necklace opened her account at her third start when striding clear for a dominant two and a half length win in the 1300 metre maiden.

SepoyUnplaced on debut in July last year, she was spelled immediately after and was returned with a second at Newcastle before being dispatched to Melbourne.

Necklace is a half-sister to Champion 2YO and 3YO Sprinter Sepoy, who won four Group I races and nearly $4million in prizemoney as well as Group II winner Mulaazem.

She is the fifth winner from Watchful, a full sister to Group I winner Camarena, who was famously sold by Darley in 2009 at the Inglis Australian Easter Broodmare Sale where she was snapped up by Emirates Park for $55,000.

Sepoy came out to win the Golden Slipper in 2011 making Watchful an outstanding purchase!

Watchful has a two year-old filly by Dream Ahead (USA) called Night Dream that has been sent to James Cummings and produced a colt last year by I Am Invincible.

She was covered last spring by Emirates Park's Artie Schiller (USA).
