A modest 1000m three year-old fillies maiden at Ballarat on Wednesday was chosen as the starting point for an expensive Snitzel filly that carries the colours of John Camilleri’s Fairway Thoroughbreds.
Trained by Grahame Begg, Aroused was sent off a short priced favourite with Jordan Childs to ride and performed exactly as punters hoped she would.
Aroused moved up to sit outside the leader turning for home and then coasted clear to win by three lengths eased down with ears pricked.
“It was a really good watch and congratulations to Grahame and all of our team and John Camilleri,” said stable representative Rohan Hughes.
“Beautiful filly, obviously well-bred and an expensive yearling. She has a great brain and good ability, but she still had to come here and execute and I was very impressed with the way she did that.
“It was a facile win in the end and she coasted to the line under hands and heels.”
A $700,000 Inglis Easter purchase from Milburn Creek for James Harron Bloodstock, Aroused is the third winner from four foals to race from Group III winning Written Tycoon mare Sexy Eyes.
Sexy Eyes has a yearling colt by Wootton Bassett (GB) to follow and was covered last spring by Switzerland.
