Spring Stakes Plans for Exciting Frankel Filly

Tara Madgwick - Monday Jul 27

Frankel has some promising rising three year-olds in Australia and New Zealand for next season and they include the Lance O’Sullivan and Andrew Scott trained filly Te Encuentro.

Te Encuentro was a debut juvenile winner, finished runner-up in the Group II Matamata Breeders’ Stakes (1200m) and went to the paddock after an unplaced run in the Group I Sistema Stakes (1200m).

“She showed a lot of ability and being by Frankel was always going to be better at three,” Andrew Scott said.

“She’s coming along well and will trial on Tuesday week at Te Rapa and then head to Taupo.”

The Listed Chittick Family Fillies Classic (1100m) at Taupo on August 16 is the anticipated return for Te Encuentro, a $600,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Wexford Stables from Arrowfield.

Te Encuentro was a $600,000 Inglis Easter yearling purchase.

She is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to progressive imported stayer Hutchence, who was third in this year’s Group II BRC Brisbane Cup, so longer trips should certainly suit.

Te Encuentro is the first foal of Summerland (GB), an unraced half-sister by Dubawi to Best of Days (GB), who won the 2018 Group I VRC Cantala Stakes.
