Expensive Sebring Filly Salutes

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 25
A $500,000 Magic Millions purchase for the China Horse Club, dashing chestnut Sebring filly Eawase became the first winner for former flying filly Karuta Queen when she cast off maiden status at Randwick on ANZAC Day.

Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Eawase was luckless when finishing fourth and third in her first two starts in December and January.

Eawase as a yearlingSpelled after that, Eawase was tuned up with two recent trials and proved too strong at the finish for her stablemate Galina in winning the 1200 metre fillies maiden by a short neck wth two lengths back to the rest.

The runner-up was bought out of the same sale by China Horse Club for $300,000 from the Newgate Farm draft and is a half-sister by Smart Missile to dual Group I winner Russian Revolution, so the finish produced a quinella of real blue-blooded fillies.

Bred and offered for sale by Strawberry Hill Stud, Eawase is the first winner for Group III winner Karuta Queen, who won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and was Group I placed with earnings in excess of $1.8 million.

A flashy chestnut by Not a Single Doubt, Karuta Queen has a yearling filly by Deep Field, a weanling filly by Written Tycoon and was covered by him again last season.
