More Japanese Stakes Success for Mosheen’s Girl

Tara Madgwick - Monday August 13
Former superstar Australian race filly Mosheen featured in Japan on the weekend when her talented three year-old Deep Impact filly Primo Scene won her second Black Type event, taking out the Group III Sekiya Kinen at Niigata.

Trained by Tetsuya Kimura, Primo Scene scored a neck win in the one mile feature on turf defeating a big field of 15 runners,

Deep ImpactPrimo Scene has three wins and a second from just six starts.

A four-time Group I winner in Australia with earnings in excess of $2.7 million, Mosheen was trained by Robert Smerdon for the late Phil Sly and claimed highlight wins in the VRC Oaks, Australian Guineas, ATC Randwick Guineas and Vinery Stud Stakes.

The champion daughter of Fastnet Rock was sold to Japan to begin her stud career and after producing a filly by Deep Impact that was unplaced, delivered Primo Scene as her second foal.

She has an unraced two year-old filly called Paronella by Lord Kanaloa and a yearling colt by Deep Impact.

Deep Impact has six Australian bred two year-olds to run for him this season, two of which (fillies from Alverta and Charming Estelle) were sold at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale this year for $1.1 million and $1million respectively.
