Well Bred Mare Salutes South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Oct 10
A half-sister to Group I winners Maid of Heaven and Castelvecchio, Group III winning Redoute's Choice mare Mirrasalo produced her second winner this week when Maningi Indaba scored at Durbanville on Wednesday in South Africa.

Maningi Indaba as a yearlingA four year-old daughter of So You Think, the Brett Crawford trained Maningi Indaba won by a length and a half over 2000 metres.

Earlier this week, Mirrasalo's three year old Lonhro filly Mirra Vision made it two wins from two starts when scoring at Randwick, so the mare has now had four foals to race and all are winners.

Maningi Indaba was a $300,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Brett Crawford/ Craig Roscoe from the Vinery Stud draft and was bred by Bennelong Bloodstock, who retained Mirra Vision to race.

Mirrasalo has a yearling filly by More Than Ready (USA) and was covered last season by Lonhro after first missing to Pierro.
