Detailed Horse Information:

This fast, speedy type filly is by BRAVE SMASH, who was an absolute speed machine and produces speed machines, and that's exactly how this filly presents – A precocious, early running type that is a born & bred sprinter. Her dam side is also nothing to scoff at, being out of ANABAA's LEGACY, who has produced 4 winners including 1 Stakes winner & 1 Stakes performer.

​

She is a mid-sized, extremely athletic example of her Japanese bloodline, and she very much impressed Import Racing's David Mourad, Ciaron Maher and his Head of Bloodstock Will Bourne with her conformation and action – Specifically noting her very low hocks and how much she drove from behind in her movement.

​

"Without getting carried away, we seen (while inspecting the filly) the likes of FAKE LOVE and ICARIAN DREAM – And she was very much in the same mould, and that's the vibe that she gave me. I thought at $120,000 she was good value, and a horse that will get up & go early to hopefully give you a quick return, and hopefully race in some good 2 year old races" 

 – Will Bourne, Head of Bloodstock at Ciaron Maher Racing

THE TRAINER

When we purchased this filly in 50/50 partnership with Ciaron, we shared the same aim – Get this filly back up to QLD next January for the Magic Millions 2yo Classic. For that reason, there was no one better on the planet that we could have partnered with on this filly to achieve that goal than the 3 time winner of the race, Ciaron Maher. He clearly knows the recipe – Lightning can strike 𝚝̶𝚠̶𝚒̶𝚌̶𝚎̶  four-times! 

​

Ciaron needs no introduction in the racing world, having globally cemented himself as a stakes race-winning & prizemoney-earning powerhouse. Currently 2nd and catching in the Australian Trainer Premiership, already having secured an absurd $34M+ in prizemoney from 140+ wins so far.

 

In recent years Ciaron has become the bounty hunter of the racing industry, having achieved a win almost every major race that Australian racing has to offer – With no signs of slowing down!

​

This filly has a lot going for her, and we are certain that there is no one better to unwrap & sharpen all of this filly's potential than Ciaron Maher.
