Nettoyer From The Clouds to Claim The Doncaster Mile

Mark Smith - Saturday April 4

Only two yearlings at the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale made less than the $20,000 shelled out for the Sebring filly Nettoyer, but the little filly no-one wanted took her earnings to over $1,614,000 when she powered home to capture Saturday’s Group 1 Doncaster Mile at Randwick.

It was a first at the highest level for trainer Wendy Roche and rider James Innes Jr. as Nettoyer came from well back in the field to pick off runner after runner to defeat Star Of The Seas (Ocean Park) by half a length, with Brandenburg (Burgundy) another short half-head back in third.

Roche said the celebrations will be muted tonight.

"I don't know what I'm going to do because all the restaurants are shut. We normally stop at the Doncaster and get beers so I don't think we can do that either," Roche told AAP.

"She's going to get pizza tonight. She eats supreme pizza with capsicum sauce."

"She is a handful. It takes two of us to get a saddle on her in the morning. She bites and fights us.

"On track she is easier to get the saddle but getting her to the stalls is a nightmare.

"All week I couldn't ride her. I just freshened her. She bit the strapper in the head and he had to get stitches.

"I've told everyone she would win today and she's won.

The 6yo daughter of Sebring had won a trio of Group III races before her Group 1 breakthrough, which advances her record to 6 wins, 1 second and 6 thirds from 30 starts with earnings of $1,614,700

Bred by Invermien Pty Ltd, she is the best of four winners from Cleanup, a half-sister by Dehere (USA) to Group III winner She's Clean from the family of Group I Oaks winners Absolutely and Abbey Marie.

Cleanup has a yearling filly by I Am Invincible and was covered by The Autumn Sun last spring having not been covered in 2018.

Nettoyer becomes the sixth Group 1 winner for Widden Stud’s Golden Slipper winner Sebring who died in February 2019.
