The Bjorn Baker stable is running hot this season and progressive Dundeel mare added to the success when charging home at Randwick on Saturday for a popular win in the $250,000 Group III ATC Angst Stakes (1600m).
Carrying the Myracehorse colours, Unleeshing won a maiden on debut back in 2024 at Mudgee and has been making steady progress since then as she has worked through her grades.
A last start win at Randwick over a mile in a Benchmark 94 event earned her a shot at the big time and Unleeshing rose to the challenge.
Ridden quietly back in the field by Jason Collett, Unleeshing still had plenty of ground to make up with a furlong to run, but she sprouted wings at the 100m mark and surged to the front to win by three-quarters of a length over her stablemate Pillow Fight.

“I thought we were in trouble on the turn. She was the better of the two chances I had. Then Pillow Fight kicked away and I was watching Pillow Fight, then I noticed…what is this horse coming,” said Bjorn Baker.
“It was Unleeshing, unleashing her massive sprint for a massive amount of owners.
“What a great job ‘My Racehorse’ is doing, they are promoting the game better than me.
“They are a phenomenal crew, they buy great horses and I’m very lucky to be training for them. She can take a little bit to wind up but when she does she goes very well.”
A modest $80,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Blue Gum Farm for MyRacehorse / Bjorn Baker Racing / Clarke Bloodstock / Belmont Bloodstock, Unleeshing has the overall record of five wins and seven placings from 14 starts with prizemoney topping $500,000.
Bred by Robert Crabtree, Unleeshing is a half-sister to Group II winner Imelda Mary and Group III placed Mountain Guest being the second stakes-winner among four winners from five foals to race from Eleesha, an unraced Encosta de Lago mare from the family of Champion 2YO Filly Fashions Afield.
Eleesha has changed hands a few times over the years and has a yearling colt by Ghaiyyath (IRE) and was covered last spring by St Mark’s Basilica (Fr).
Unleeshing is the 41st stakes-winner for Arrowfield Stud stalwart Dundeel.
