A
full sister to smart Group II placed filly Serena Bay, this Sebring filly was a
stylish debut winner at Gosford on Tuesday for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott
stable.
Two year-old Wimlah proved a touch too good for her older rivals in the 1000
metre maiden, leading all the way in the heavy conditions to win by half a
length making it a winning double on the day for Sebring, who won the first race
with Dante Rossetti, also trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott.
A $240,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Edinburgh Park draft for her
trainers, Wimlah runs for a big group of owners that includes her breeder Ian
Smith and the Onedream Racing Syndicate managed by John Cheng, who won his
share in the Inglis Win a Share in a Racehorse competition run in conjunction with
the Daily Telegraph.
Wimlah is the third winner from three foals to race from stakes-winner Caiguna,
whose current yearling, another filly by Sebring, made $150,000 at Inglis
Easter this year.
She is the 13th two year-old winner this season for Sebring, who stands
at a fee of $66,000.
