Toronado Filly Hurricane Georgie Sheds Maiden Tag

Mark Smith - Wednesday August 28

Sweet moving Toronado (IRE) filly Hurricane Georgie franked the Daggers form when outclassing a field of 3-year-old fillies in the Senet Gambling Law Experts (1400m) at Sandown-Hillside.

A battling fourth on debut behind the unbeaten I Am Invincible colt at Sandown-Hillside on August 7, Hurricane Georgie made all the running under Jamie Kah to defeat the Shooting To Win filly Chipilly by three and a half lengths with the US Navy Flag filly Navy Heart a length back in third.

Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr, Hurricane Georgie will likely trek a path to the One Thousand Guineas.

“When we bought this filly, I was standing beside Lois Le Metayer, and we were bidding against each other,” Kent recalled.

“I said, what do you want to do here? So we joined forces, which probably cost the vendor some money, but it was a good result.   

“We purchased her at the (Inglis) Classic Sale. She is a lovely, big, strong, scopey filly by a good stallion. She is clean-winded sound, and she has always shown nice ability."

Bred by Boom Racing, Hurricane Georgie was a $200,000 purchase for Astute Bloodstock (FBAA) / Price Kent Racing from the Eureka Stud draft at the 2023 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

Hurricane Georgie a $200,000 Inglis Classic yearling

A half-sister to Group III NRC Spring Stakes winner Pierossa (Pierro) and Listed VRC Football Stakes winner Ploverset (Street Boss), Hurricane Georgie is the fourth winner from five to race for the Testa Rossa mare Edwina Georgie.

A four-length winner at Deniliquin in her only start, Edwina Georgie was a $37,500 purchase for Boom Racing on Inglis Digital when carrying Hurricane Georgie.

Edwina Georgie has a 2-year-old filly by Spirit Of Boom, a yearling filly by Harry Angel (IRE), and was covered by Pinatubo (IRE) last spring.
