Autumn Angel was strong through the line when adding Saturday’s Gr2 Kewney Stakes (1600m) at Flemington to her resume.
Ridden by Mark Zahra the daughter of THE AUTUMN SUN hit the lead at the 300m marker. She looked likely to be swamped in the final stages but was tough to the post defeating Basilinna by a half-neck, with the run of the race and flashing lights on the stablemate Pierro filly Mollynickers who was a head back in third.
THE AUTUMN SUN - Second Crop Sire
The Gr3 Ethereal Stakes winner at Caulfield last spring, Autumn Angel advances her record to three wins, a second, and three thirds, with earnings of $384,940.
“I’m shaking. That was amazing,” co-trainer Katherine Coleman enthused.
“She’s a really special filly. We’ve had a big opinion of her. Last start didn’t go to plan, but to come through and run like that, she’s really something special.
“She’s a very tough girl. She gives us a bit of a hard time at home every now and again, but when they’re tough like that on race day, you don’t mind it.
“It was a fantastic ride from Mark Zahra. He produced her at the right time. She was able to build momentum and roll into it. There are good things in store for this girl.
“There’s plenty of options for her at this this time of year. An Australasian Oaks, you wouldn’t go past that. Then in Sydney as well.”
Autumn Angel was a $230,000 purchase for Moody Racing from the Arrowfield Stud draft at the 2022 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.
She is the third winner from four to race for the Gr3 winner Angel Of Mercy (Hussonet).
Arrowfield Stud consigned a sister to Autumn Angel to last year’s Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, which failed to make her $150,000 reserve. Named Stolen Summer, she is in training with Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich.
Angel Of Mercy has a yearling filly by The Autumn Sun and a colt foal by Maurice (JPN). She was covered by Hitotsu last spring.
A special note from this race was the run for third of the stablemate MOLLYNICKERS. That filly had little luck at a vital stage in the straight and was unable to have a fair crack.
MOLLYNICKERS 3yo Pierro (AUS) x Just One Moment (AUS) (More Than Ready (USA)), is a well performed daughter of PIERRO who in her past four runs ran 4th in the Listed Atlantic Jewel, 4th in the Gr1 Flight Stakes, 3rd in the Gr3 Vanity and now 3rd in the Gr2 Kewney.
We have been following this filly with interest as she is closely related to Dynamic Syndications super mare, I AM ME.
