There were three stakes races at Rosehill last Saturday for three year-olds that put the colts and geldings up against the fillies and in every race the fillies came out on top, so who are these girls that gave the boys a thumping.
The Group II ATC Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) was won by Kiwi bred filly Satono Glow, who will be looking to take on the A grade colts at her next start in the Group I ATC Coolmore Stud Stakes, read about her here.
You have to go back to 2012 to find a filly that has won this race and that was Jolie Bay, who then went to Melbourne and was second in the G1 Coolmore before finding fame and fortune in the breeding barn as the dam of Champion Australian Sprinter and $9million earner Joliestar.
Satono Glow is the 14th stakes-winner for Satono Aladdin and may emerge as his second G1 winner in the future joining his two time Oaks queen Pennyweka, which highlights the versatility of this fast son of Deep Impact.
Her dam Electrode was bred in NZ, but is an Aussie bred in disguise. She is by champion sire Pins (bred in Australia) and her tail female line is Australian through and through tracing all the way back to Civic Pride, a G3 Gimcrack Stakes winner that left Victoria Derby winner Pride of Egypt and Flight and Wakeful Stakes winner Amneris.
Satono Glow is what happens when Aussie speed hits international super sires Sunday Silence and Storm Cat… love it!
Surprisingly, Satono Glow is the only runner for the Satono Aladdin x Pins nick, so it’s 100% success!
The Group III ATC Gloaming Stakes (1800m) was won by undefeated filly Proxima Dea, the full sister to G1 Queensland Oaks winner Gypsy Goddess, read about her here.
Like her sister Gypsy Goddess, Proxima Dea is on track to step up in trip with the G1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) and VRC Oaks (2500m) on her radar.
You have to go back all the way to 1993 to the previous filly to win the Gloaming and that was Constant Flight, who was placed in the G1 Spring Champion and ran fourth in the AJC Oaks. She only had three foals before a premature death and the first of them Pepper Girl was a stakes-winner.
No surprises with this pedigree as Proxima Dea is running true to the blood in her veins. She is the tenth SW for Tarzino, who won a Victoria Derby and is from an unraced sister to G1 Flight Stakes winner Cheeky Choice.
The Listed ATC Tapp Craig (1400m) is a newly created race and as such, the first two runnings of it that were won by the colts Anode and Ohope went unrecognized in terms of international Black Type status.
This year’s winner with the name nobody can say, Chuchichaschtli, appears to have been granted Black Type status for her win with the race now acknowledged by the powers that be, read about her here.
She is the seventh SW for Exceedance and if Satono Glow has a female family that is a lesson in Aussie bloodlines and history, this girl has the equivalent in Kiwi bloodlines.
Her dam is a half-sister to G1 NZ Oaks winner Savaria and her third dam Solano is a half-sister to Solveig, the Champion NZ 3YO Filly of her year, who also won a New Zealand Oaks.
Chuchichaschtli is the first SW from a daughter of Shamoline Warrior, a G3 winner at 2000m and a half-brother to dual Derby hero Rebel Raider and Werribee Cup winner Cadillac Mountain.
Given the staying profile of her female family it will be no surprise to see Chuchichaschtli step out to a mile at some point and in all probability she will relish the task.
