Stratum Filly Breaks Maiden for Winx Owner

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday October 26

A part-owner of superstar mare Winx, Richard Treweeke featured as an owner/breeder at Canterbury on Wednesday when his homebred Stratum filly Zumbelina shed maiden status.

Second ion debut at Canterbury back in August to highly rated colt Spirit and Fire, the Chris Waller trained Zumbelina was sent out favourite for the 1200 metre maiden.

Despite being held up for a run, Zumbelina found the line well under strong riding from Brenton Avdulla to win by a long neck and obviously has a bright future.

Zumbelina is the first winner for minor winning Noverre (USA) mare Ruth's Secret, who was also raced by Mr Treweeke in partnership with another of the Winx owners in Peter Tighe and his wife.

From the Leica Show branch of the famed 'Leica' family featuring Group I winners Pharaoh, Leica Guv and Light Fantastic, Ruth's Secret has a yearling filly by Hinchinbrook and was covered again by Stratum last year.
