Rosina Kojonup as a yearling
On that occasion, she failed to fire, but given a good spell and allowed time to mature she returned in the 1000 metre maiden and led all the way to score an easy win.
She was a well backed favourite and there was a good margin back to the third horse, so it was an encouraging performance giving hint of better things to come.
A $425,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Yarraman Park draft for Attunga Stud/ Blandford Bloodstock, Rosina Kojonup is the third winner from three foals to race from Courgette, a metro winning Charge Forward mare, whose grand-dam is Group II winner Sunshine Sally.

Shamus Award
Courgette changed hands at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale earlier this year fetching $2.1 million when bought by E Thoroughbreds with a positive test to I Am Invincible on a late service date. Her current yearling is a filly by Time to Reign's sire Time for War.
Rosina Kojonup is the tenth winner this season for Widden Stud’s Cox Plate winner Shamus Award, who has had a good run through the spring with six winners since the start of the month.
Shamus Award stands at a fee of $11,000.
