First Winner for Skilled

Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 24

A Group I winning son of Commands, Darley's promising young sire Skilled put his first winner on the board in Tasmania on Sunday with a debut victory for Little Elsa.

Skilled

Prepared by Terence Evans, Little Elsa was second in a recent trial and galloped away from her rivals in the 1000 metre maiden to win by two and a half lengths.

A $10,000 Inglis VOBIS Gold purchase for her trainer from the Stonehurst Farm draft, Little Elsa is the fourth winner from four foals to race from Cape Cross (IRE) mare Walvis Bay, who was covered by another of the young Darley sires last spring in Kuroshio.

A stunning near black stallion very reminiscent of his sire, Skilled has five entries for the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
