Trained by Robbie Griffiths, three year-old filly Absolemm was a short priced favourite
for the 1000 metre maiden and won accordingly. Only fair to begin, she mustered
speed soon after and moved up to be fourth three wide for much of the trip, before
powering clear to win by a length and a half.A $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Griffths Racing / Peter Ford Thoroughbreds (FBAA) from the Edinburgh Park draft, Absolemm was bred by Ian Smith and runs for Echo Beach Bloodstock.
She is the first winner for nicely bred import Nothin but a Dream (USA), a grand-daughter of influential stakes-winner Adarling.
If that names sounds familiar it’s because Adarling is the grand-dam of celebrated stakes-winning producer Mica’s Pride, the dam of Group I winners Criterion and Comin’ Through, who have won $9million between them!
Adarling is also the grand-dam of Rose of Cimmaron, the dam of last Saturday’s Epsom Handicap bound stakes-winner Siege of Quebec and his Group III winning full brother Bull Point, who stands at Kingstar Farm.
Given the strength of this female family it’s no wonder the Snitzel yearling filly from Nothin but a Dream made $400,000 at Inglis Easter this year for Edinburgh Park when knocked down to John O’Shea Racing.
Nothin but a Dream has a yearling colt by Fastnet Rock and will foal again to the champion sire this spring.
