Prepared
by Anthony Cummings, Fastnet Rock filly Mrs Madrid was successful at Hawkesbury
on Thursday and has now won her past two starts over 2000 metres bringing an
important update for her Inglis Premier bound half-sister.
Mrs Madrid has only had four starts, but has really blossomed since being stepped
out in distance and with many Oaks options coming up in the next few months,
she looks a nice staying prospect and certainly has the pedigree to back that
up.
A $175,000 Inglis Premier purchase for her trainer from the Erinvale Thoroughbreds
draft, Mrs Madrid was foaled and raised at Coolmore and is the second winner from
Lady of Spain, whose only other foal to race, Mystical Star is also now a
winner in Malaysia.
Lady of Spain is a half-sister by Encosta de Lago to Group III MRC Ethereal
Stakes winner Dawnie Perfect from Queensland Oaks winner Zagalia, who is by
Zabeel.
Erinvale Thoroughbreds will offer the current yearling from Lady of Spain, a
filly by Vancouver, at Inglis Premier as Lot 260.
Lady of Spain has another filly by Vancouver to follow and was covered last
spring by Galileo's champion son Churchill (IRE).
