One To Watch - Newcastle

Mark Smith - Sunday May 23

The drums were beating for the two-year-old Sebring filly Dynasties when she made her career debut against a field of her elders over 1200m at Newcastle on Saturday.

This was not an easy watch for supporters of the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained filly who was sent out the 5/4 favourite.

The last to leave the barrier, Dynasties stood the leaders up a big start and still had just two behind her when the field straightened for home.

Eased out to the centre of the track by Andrew Gibbons, the bold-striding daughter of Sebring rounded them up quickly. Despite racing greenly, Dynasties defeated the 3yo Sacred Falls filly, Indiana Falls, by the lengths with a further length back to the 3yo Exceed And Excel filly I'm Gunna Cashew in third.

"She's a lovely big filly, and it looks as if she has a pretty bright future," stable representative Debbie Rieber said.

"She is still learning and will definitely get over further.

"The trackwork rider, Matty Scorse, said yesterday she would be hard to beat, and he was spot on."

A homebred for John Camilleri's Fairway Thoroughbreds, Dynasties is the second winner from as many to race out of the Group II VRC Kewney Stakes and Group II MVRC Moonee Valley Classic winner Empress Rock.

The daughter of Fastnet Rock is out of the city winning Encosta de Lago mare Empress Jade a half-sister to twice Hong Kong Horse Of The Year Silent Witness (El Moxie) and the Group II VRC Salinger Stakes winner Sister Madly (Redoute's Choice), who was runner-up in the Group 1 ATC Flight Stakes and Group 1 MVRC Manikato Stakes.  

After missing to I Am Invincible in 2018, Empress Jade was sent to Great Britain the following year for a date with Kingman.
