One to Watch – Newcastle

Tara Madgwick - Monday February 13

Frankel is one of the best stallions in the world and when you get the chance to buy one of his yearling fillies for just $115,000 and she comes out and wins at her third start that’s a win in itself!

Trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, three year-old filly Frankie’s Me Dad was a well backed favourite to cast off maiden status in a Class 1 race at Newcastle on Monday over 2100m and she got the job in style.

She forged clear of her older rivals to win by a length and a half continuing the steady improvement she has shown from a debut eighth on January 7th to a last start third at Newcastle on January 28 and now a win.

kie’s Me Dad was a savvy purchase for Dynamic Syndications / Dean Watt Bloodstock from the Yulong draft at Inglis Premier.

Frankie's Me Dad was bred and sold by Yulong.

Frankie's Me Dad was bred and sold by Yulong.

She is the first winner for Daddys Poppit (GB), a winning Scat Daddy daughter of US Group III winner Valiant Girl from a prolific international Black Type family.

Daddys Poppit produced a filly for Yulong last spring by Alabama Express and is back in foal to him again.

Juddmonte Farms super sire Frankel has an exceptional record in Australia and had a new stakes-winner here on Saturday when seven year-old gelding Farooq won the Listed SAJC Premier’s Plate at Morphettville.
