Trained by Phillip Stokes , the filly has obviously always shown potential
having been sent straight into Group III company when unplaced on debut in the
Ottawa Stakes at Flemington over the spring before resuming last start with a
solid third in the DequettevilleStakes.She'd been ridden on pace in those two efforts but was sent to the front for this run and accelerated impressively off the bend to score a dominant win by just short of four lengths.
A homebred for her owner Peter Horwitz, Broadband is out of Electric Dreams (by Redoute's Choice), who made $600,000 as a yearling prior to an above average career which netted three Sydney wins and a fourth in the Sheraco Stakes (Listed) behind More Joyous.
She is out of Volted In, a half-sister to Group I winners Anamato and Drum, Listed winner Port Watch and stakes placed Tambour, the dam of the multiple Group I winner Grand Armee.
The family also includes Chetwood, Mearas and Dealer Principal.
At stud her first two foals went through the sales ring, making $320,000 (Dragon Harmony by Testa Rossa) and $200,000 (Mooshakissa by Duporth).
Both of those horses have subsequently won races, Dragon Harmony in Hong Kong, however Broadband was not offered in the sales ring and becomes the third winner from her three foals.
Her fourth foal, a fully-sister to Broadband was passed in shy of a $3000,000 reserve at this year's Magicv Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
Electric Dreams has a weanling filly by I Am Invincible and was served by Dissident last season.
