A
juvenile maiden at Hawkesbury on Tuesday has drawn an interesting field
including the most expensive filly ever sired by Exceed and Excel and the full
brother to Group I winner Sweet Idea.
The Hawkes Racing trained filly Priestess was recorded as a sale at Inglis
Easter for $1.2 million from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft by Hawkes Racing,
but appears to be running for her breeder Tony Falcone.
She is a half-sister to Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas winner Divine Prophet and
Group II winner Proisir being from terrific producer Prophet’s Jewel.
Also of interest the John Sargent trained Snitzel colt Home Win, a $240,000 Inglis
Easter purchase for Apollo Ng from the Arrowfield draft. He is a full brother
to $2.4 million earner Sweet Idea and also this season’s Group I placed Group
II winner Showtime.
The yearling full sister to Home Win made $1.8 million at Magic Millions this
year and Showtime made $1.1 million as a yearling, so Home Win would appear to be
a bargain if he can run!
