Guineas-bound Qiji Express,
who was an unlucky runnerup in the Gr.2 James & Annie Sarten Memorial
Stakes earlier in the Spring, scored a comfortable victory in the Fasttrack
Mufhasa Stakes over 1300m on Derby day at Ellerslie for champion trainers
Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman.
The Gr.2 Wellington Guineas
at Trentham on March 16th is the next target for Qiji Express who
became ShamExpress' fourth first-crop stakes winner.
ShamExpress also sired
another 3YO winner when Gunga Din was successful over 1600m at Goulburn in New
South Wales on Saturday at just his third raceday start.
Last weekend the hot young sire produced his first Australian Group winner when 3YO filly Embrace Me was successful in the Gr.3 Typhoon Tracy Stakes at Moonee Valley in Melbourne.
The syndicate-owned ShamExpress stands at Windsor Park Stud where the popular stallion has had yearlings sell to $510,000.
