Fastnet
Rock has already had an impressive debut blueblood winner this week in More
Sundays and may well have another at Canterbury today if the full sister to
Group I winner Catchy has a fraction of her big sister’s ability.
Prepared by Team Hawkes, three year-old Symi showed at her most recent trial
she was ready for the races when powering home well for a close second although
has no easy ask as she is kicking off in a Benchmark 69 event in which most of
the fillies have already won a race.
A $700,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Coolmore draft for renowned Sydney
owner Alan Bell, Symi is a full sister to $1.9 million earner and Group I MRC
Blue Diamond Stakes winner Catchy as well as three other winners.
Her dam Cats Whisker, a Group II winning daughter of Fusaichi Pegasus (USA) has
the perfect record of four foals to race all winners and all are by Fastnet
Rock.
Coolmore sold the now two year-old Fastnet Rock colt from Cats Whisker at
Inglis Easter this year for $500,000 and there is a yearling filly to follow by
Pierro.
The race is at 2.30pm.
