Better Than Ready Filly Skirt The Law Stays Perfect at Doomben

Mark Smith - Saturday December 3

Better Than Ready filly Skirt The Law advanced her record to two for two when barely breaking a sweat in the Zousain First Yearlings 2yo Hcp (1200m) at Doomben on Saturday.

Ridden by Ryan Moloney for Tony Gollan Skirt The Law jumped to the front and enjoyed a day out to defeat Torque I Tee (Shalaa) by five and a quarter lengths with Arbat (Showtime) a further four and three-quarter lengths back in third.

Skirt The Law was sent off an odd-favourite following a similarly dominant performance over 1050m at her career debut at Doomben on November 12.

The daughter of Better Than Ready all but booked her ticket for the $2million Magic Millions 2yo Classic to be held at the Gold Coast on Saturday, 14th January 2023.

 

Bred and offered for sale by Lyndhurst Stud Farm, Skirt The Law was a $170,000 purchase Gollan Racing/John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA)/Black Soil Bloodstock at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

She is the first foal to race from the stakes-placed Exceed And Excel mare Outlaw Kate.

Skirt The Law a $170,000 Magic Millions yearling

A $120,000 weanling pinhook for Ascot Farm, Outlaw Kate was a $150,000 buy for Phill Cataldo Bloodstock at the 2014 NZB Premier Yearling Sale.

Consigned by Segenhoe Stud to the 2019 National Broodmare Sale, Outlaw Kate sold to Lyndhurst Stud Farm for $30,000.

That was made to look a bargain when her half-brother Masked crusader (Toronado) won the Group I MVRC William Reid Stakes and was runner-up in the Group 1 ATC TJ Smith Stakes and The Everest on the way to banking over $3.7million.

Outlaw Kate is a daughter of She’s Got Gears, who made a spectacular career debut when defeating Shaaheq and subsequent Golden Slipper winner Crystal Lily in the Listed VRC AGL Renewable Energy Stakes (Ottawa Stakes). The daughter of Invincible Spirit failed to win another race, although she placed in the Group III Maribyrnong Plate and Group III Blue Diamond Prelude.

Outlaw Kate does not have a yearling but foaled a Nicconi colt on October 5.

Better Than Ready has 24 catalogued for the Gold Coast in January, two for the Inglis Classic, and a single lot at Karaka.
