As
a three year-old full sister to international Group I winning sprinter Amber
Sky we would expect this daughter of Exceed and Excel to be fast.
The Ciaron Maher trained Villa Rosa was sent out a hot favourite for the 1000
metre maiden on debut and got the job done in forging clear to win by a length and
a quarter.
The first two home drew aright away from their rivals with a gap of eight
lengths back to the third horse.
A $420,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Blue Gum Farm draft for Ciaron
Maher Racing. Villa Rosa is the fourth winner from Group II winning Rubiton speedster
Truly Wicked.
Truly Wicked produced another filly by Exceed and Excel last year and is back
in foal to the Darley stalwart again.
