Electric Girl Keeps the Till Ticking Over in Millie Fox Stakes

Mark Smith - Saturday February 18

The six-year-old Declaration Of War (USA) mare Electric Girl entered the winner’s circle for the first time in over a year in Saturday’s Group II Rosehill Bowling Club Millie Fox Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill.

Ridden by Zac Lloyd for Michael, Wayne, and John Hawkes, Electric Girl defeated last year’s winner Expat (Makfi), by a long-neck with Roots (Press Statement) the same distance back in third.

The Group II Hot Danish Stakes winner at Rosehill in January last year, Electric Girl advances her record to seven wins, three seconds, and five thirds from 29 starts with earnings of $1,196,740.

“She only arrived up here early this week (from the Melbourne stable), and one thing about this mare, she just loves the hard ground, the harder the better,” Michael Hawkes said.

“She is as honest as the day is long. The thing I love about her is she finds and she finds hard.

“I’ve got to give Zac (Lloyd) credit. The last thing I said to him was to count to ten before you really go out and just be patient. They ran along, and he just nursed her.”

A homebred for the Williams family’s Superhorse Trust, Electric Girl is the best of three winners from as many to race out of the Zizou mare Electra whose two-start career resulted in a fifth of eleven at Wyong and six of ten on the same track.

The first sign of black type came under the third dam Autumn Lodge (Grand Lodge), which won the Group II Golden Slipper at Clairwood.

Electra was a $1,250 purchase for Sarah Wolski at the 2021 Inglis September (Early) Online Sale.

She missed to Territories (IRE) but has since foaled a colt by Dubious and visited Capitalist last spring.
