Castelvecchio Filly Wins G3 Reginald Allen

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 19

Denise Martin’s Star Thoroughbreds had much racetrack excitement and financial reward from Group I winning mare Invincibella and the familiar purple and white stars were carried to victory at Randwick on Saturday in the Group III ATC Reginald Allen Stakes (1400m) by a three year-old Castelvecchio filly that is closely related to the $3million earner.

Trained by Chris Waller as was Invincibella, Aeliana was having her first try at Black Type company following three starts in much easier grade that yielded a maiden win at Randwick over 1150m in back in August.

Tuned up with a recent trial to have her ready for 1400m off a little freshen up, Aeliana was ridden quietly by James McDonald and dived through along the inside to snatch a narrow win in a thrilling finish with fillies spread across the track.

uo;James was very patient there just biding his time, at the 300m he wanted to get out but there was nowhere to go, so he was stuck there, but then away she went,” said Chris Waller.

 

Aeliana was a $180,000 Karaka Book 1 purchase.

A $180,000 Karaka Book 1 purchase for Star Thoroughbreds from the Rich Hill Stud draft, Aeliana has a pedigree that suggests longer distances will be within her scope as she matures with her pedigree featuring an intriguing double cross of both Sadler’s Wells and Zabeel.

Aeliana has the overall record of two wins from four starts with prizemoney topping $180,000.

She is the first winner for Temolie, a half-sister by Star Witness to Group I winner Invincibella, Group III winner Secret Blaze and stake-winner Extreme Warrior, who stands at Rosemont Stud in Victoria.

Temolie was bought by Rich Hill Stud at the 2021 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for $200,000 in foal to Castelvecchio with Aeliana the result of the mating. Temolie has produced two fillies for Rich Hill Stud by their champion sire Proisir including a yearling that sold at K1 this year for $250,000 to Ciaron Maher / TFI and is back in foal to him again.

Aeliana is the second stakes-winner for Dundeel’s dual Group I winning son Castelvecchio, who stands at Arrowfield at a fee of $22,000.
