Opening
her account with a dominant win at Durbanville in South Africa on Tuesday was promising
Snitzel mare Marion Belle, who has a half-brother by Zoustar headed to the
Inglis Premier Yearling Sale in March.
Trained by Brett Crawford, four year-old Marion Belle forged clear to win by
two and a half lengths over 1000 metres at her second start.
A $560,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Craig Roscoe/ Brett Crawford from the
Yallambee Stud draft, Marion Belle was the top priced offering at the 2015
sale.
She is the third winner from Belle of the City, an unraced half-sister by Bel
Esprit to stakes-winner Cecconi from the family of Golden Slipper winner Stratum.
Maluka Thoroughbreds will offer the current yearling from Belle of the City, a
colt by Zoustar at the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 659.
