Three
Bridges Thoroughbreds graduate Every Faith is headed to stud this spring, but
will go out in top form after saluting at Caulfield on Saturday.
The Robert Smerdon trained six year-old daughter of Not a Single Doubt did best
in a thrilling finish to the 1200 metre mares sprint to score a half head win.
Smerdon said Every Faith would likely have one more start before heading to the
breeding barn.
"She's a really nice mare and she'll have one more start before she heads to
stud where I think she's been booked into Medaglia D'oro but the float is
already booked," Smerdon said.
"She's a well-bred mare that's won a Black-type race so it's off to the next
phase of her life."
A $130,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Three Bridges Thoroughbreds draft,
Every Faith has won six of 39 starts earning in excess of $400,000 in
prizemoney with a Black Type success on her resume in the Listed SAJC Laelia
Stakes.
She is a half-sister to Group II winner Alpine Eagle being from the well-bred
Zabeel mare Zephyria.
She was a highly successful pinhook for Three Bridges having been bought initially
on our behalf by Paul Willetts for $28,000 at the MM National Weanling Sale
from the Brooklyn Lodge draft.
