First New Season 2YO Winner for Shalaa

Tara Madgwick - Sunday October 10

A two year-old maiden at Hawkesbury on Sunday proved that race experience is invaluable with the first two home both coming out of the recent Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes and Group III ATC Breeders Plate.

The winner was the Clarry Conners trained Shalaa (IRE) filly Okami Miss, who could only finish tenth in the Gimcrack, but this time around knew exactly what was going on and charged to the line after travelling behind the leaders to win by half a neck over One Destiny (Super One), who was eleventh in the Breeders Plate.
