Debut Winner for Churchill

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 24

Returning to Coolmore Australia this spring, promising young Galileo son Churchill (IRE) posted a debut winner at Ipswich on Wednesday with the Tony Gollan trained filly Madame Odette saluting for a big team of happy owners put together by Flying Start Syndications.

A barrier trial winner earlier this month, Madame Odette was well fancied and scored a half length win over older rivals in the 1200m maiden.

An $80,000 Inglis Classic Highway Session purchase from the Berkeley Park Stud draft for Flying Start Syndications / Pinhook Bloodstock, Madame Odette was bred by Grant Briscoe and is the second winner from Cloudwatch, a winning half-sister by Snitzel to stakes-placed Golden Sunshine.

squo;s a fast running family with Cloudwatch being a grand-daughter of brilliant stakes-winner Cloudlet, a full sister to Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Zephyrz.

Madame Odette looks a promising type for Churchill, who will have a key runner on Saturday with his quality colt Conqueror set to take his place in the Group III ATC Up and Coming Stakes.
