Champion
racehorse Dylan Thomas (IRE) was represented by a promising winner at Bendigo
on Sunday with well bred filly Sullen Art, showing real staying potential with
a powerful win.
Having just her third start, the Leon Corstens trained filly was jumping up
sharply in distance from 1200 metres to a mile and despite wanting to race
keenly in the early stages, she found the line with much enthusiasm.
Under a skilled ride from Damien Oliver, Sullen Art (pictured Racepix Vic) pulled away to win by more
than a length and will be better for the experience.
Entered for the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas, Sullen Art probably appeals more
as an Oaks filly and certainly has the pedigree for it.
A $140,000 purchase from the Westbury Stud draft at the 2011 NZB Premier
Yearling Sale, Sullen Art is a half-sister to stakes-winner Tagine being one of
five winners from Circles of Ice, whose dam National Song is a half-sister to Group
I AJC Australian Oaks winner Circles of Gold, the dam of Group I VRC Derby winner
Elvstroem.
It's also the family of champion miler Haradasun and champion sprinter Starspangledbanner,
so Sullen Art has enough on the page to make her a very valuable breeding
prospect if she can win some Black Type.
Dylan Thomas stands at Coolmore this spring at a bargain fee of $13,750.
Class: Maiden. Track: Dead. Time: 1:39.69. Prizemoney: $17,500 - 1st: $10,500 2nd: $2,975 3rd: $1,400. |
