Brave Smash Filly Szabo Goes Two for Two

Mark Smith - Friday March 17

Favourite backers had few worries when the Brave Smash (JPN) filly Szarbo kept her record at a perfect two for two at over 800m at Ipswich on Friday.

Ridden by Billie-Rose Andrew for Brenton Andrew, Szarbo tracked the leader North Of Eli. It was plain sailing except for a momentary scare when extracting from behind the son of Headwater.

The winner over the same track and distance on December 22, Szarbo defeated North Of Eli by a long neck, with the Territories (IRE) filly         Assymetry a further one and a quarter length back in third.

Szabo was a bargain basement $10,000 purchase for her trainer from the Eureka Stud draft at the 2022 Magic Millions National Yearling Sale, and she has already banked three times that.
