Blue-Blood Salutes at Canterbury
Tara Madgwick - Friday, 2 November 2012

This filly may never rise to the heights of her Group I winning siblings Redoute's Choice, Platinum Scissors and Manhattan Rain, but she is now a winner after saluting at Canterbury on Friday night.

She is the Gai Waterhouse trained three year-old filly The Broken Shore, who led throughout at her first run back from a spell to win the 1100 metre maiden by a neck at her sixth race start.

Placed four times from here previous five runs, The Broken Shore was well overdue for a win and will no doubt take confidence from the experience.

Retained to race by Teeley Assets, The Broken Shore is by Hussonet (USA) and is the eighth winner from nine to race from super producer Shantha's Choice, whose progeny have made an amazing impression led five stakes-winners headed by champion sire Redoute's Choice.

Shantha's Choice (pictured Katrina Partridge)  died earlier this year leaving behind one unraced two year-old filly to come called Taste of Heaven.

The daughter of Encosta de Lago is a full sister to Manhattan Rain and is being trained by Gai Waterhouse.
