Bigger Things Now for Beautifully Bred Frankel Filly

Breednet - Wednesday August 15
A week after her mother left the country, the most anticipated horse to race in Australia on Wednesday, stunningly bred Frankel filly Miss Fabulass didn't disappoint.

FrankelDespite the maiden field at Canterbury being reduced to just three runners after scratchings, it still contained the debut stakes placegetter Ranier so was certainly no gimme, however she impressed at her second start in winning comfortably.

In fact, she had impressed at her first start when producing a withering burst from the tail of the field to finish second in a performance which has had her earmarked as a potential topline three-year-old filly since.

By Frankel out of three-time Group One winner Samantha Miss, they don't come any better bred and Miss Fabulass now looks likely to head to the Furious Stakes and attempt to emulate her dam in at least three of the four races comprising the Princess Series.

Those races include the Gr3 Silver Shadow Stakes, Gr2 Furious Stakes (1200m), Gr2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) and Gr1 Flight Stakes (1600m).

Samantha Miss famously completed the entire Princess Series, winning all four races, however with the Silver Shadow being run this weekend that comes to soon for Miss Fabulass.

It's also worth noting however that she holds a nomination for the Gr1 Golden Rose and has been supported in markets recently for that race.

Miss Fabulass races for her breeder, John Singleton's Strawberry Hills Stud who paid $3.85 million for her dam at the 2009 Inglis Easter Broodmare Sale, making her the second highest priced mare ever sold in Australia.

She is the fourth foal, and fourth winner for Samantha Miss, who has a 2YO colt by Medaglia D'Oro named Geo to follow, as well as a yearling colt by Medgalia D'Oro.

She was served by Sebring last season however slipped.

The three previous winners have only been moderate and the Frankel match is looking like it might be the one to produce the magic, so it was interesting to note Samantha Miss boarded a plane to Great Britain last Wednesday and there's no prizes for guessing where she's headed.
