When you are the most expensive yearling by a sire sold in a particular year it stands to reason that you should be able to win a race.
Opening her winning account at Sale on Sunday for the Peter Moody stable was three year-old filly Soul Mama, a full sister to former brilliant juvenile Solar Charged.
Second at two of her three previous starts, Soul Mama broke the ice when taking the 1000 metre maiden by two lengths as favourite at her first run back from a spell.
A $400,000 purchase for her trainer from the Vinery Stud draft at the 2010 Magic Millions Yearling Sale, Soul Mama (pictured as a yearling)was the most expensive filly sired by Charge Forward sold in 2010.
Soul Mama is a half-sister to Group III winner Solar Charged and stakes-winner Causeway Queen and is the fifth winner for Danehill (USA) mare Soul Singer.
Scoring at her second start on the Geelong synthetic track was the Peter Snowden trained Exceed and Excel filly Harpers, who was a market drifter, but still won the 1100 metre juvenile maiden easily by two and three-quarter lengths.
A $430,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Darley from the Newhaven Park draft, Harpers (pictured as a yearling) is the second winner for Group II winner Media, a half-sister to another Group II winner Timbourina.
Harpers was the most expensive filly by Exceed and Excel sold in 2011 and is his ninth Australian two year-old winner this season.
