Debut Win for $1,150,000 Filly

Tara Madgwick - Sunday February 18
A competitive juvenile maiden at Bendigo on Saturday produced a winning debut for the most expensive yearling sold by Newgate Farm in 2017.

Casadiva as a yearlingTrained by Brent Stanley, Fastnet Rock filly Casadiva always had the race in her keeping.

She travelled up on the pace and skipped away to win the 1100 metre sprint by a length and a three-quarters in a dominant display beating stakes-placed Foxwedge filly Aristocratic Miss (race favourite) with Krone, a daughter Newgate Farm's first crop sire Eurozone in third place.

Casadiva was a $1,150,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Cloud 9 Thoroughbreds and runs for Steve and Louise Gillard and Tru Blu Bloodstock.

Bred by SF Bloodstock, Casadiva was foaled and raised at Newgate and is a three-quarter sister to Group I placed stakes-winner Zamzam from Group I placed Fleur d'Here.

Newgate Farm sold her current yearling, a filly by Snitzel at Magic Millions for $185,000 and the mare has a Redoute's Choice filly to follow. She was covered last spring by Newgate Farm's Champion 3YO Sprinter Flying Artie.
