Clairvoyance - How Good Is She?

Mark Smith - Sunday August 16

Just three runners opposed boom filly Clairvoyance in the Long Leaf At Rangeview Stud (1200m) at Belmont on Saturday but they included two honest performers in Keep Your Feet and Watch Me Dance and Clairvoyance put them to the sword.

The bold-striding daughter of Nostradamus kept her record at a perfect three for three when leading all the way under Chris Parnham.

The consistent Keep Your Feet (Bradbury’s Luck) trailed home some five and a quarter lengths astern in second while last season’s Group III WA Sires' Produce stakes winner and Group II Karrakatta Plate runner-up Watch Me Dance (I’m All The Talk) was a further one and a quarter lengths back in third at her seasonal debut.

Clairvoyance kick-started her career over 1000m at Belmont on July 11 and despite racing greenly won by three-quarters of a length.

She showed she had taken plenty of benefit from that experience three weeks later over the same course and distance with a 5-length romp over Panzdown who was coming off a win at Belmont at his debut.

A homebred for Impressive Racing, the Darren McAuliffe-trained filly is the fifth foal and third winner out of the well-performed Perugino mare Dance On Air.

Campaigned by David Moodie’s Contract Racing, Dance On Air won six races in Melbourne where she seemed to have an affinity with Caulfield, which was the scene for half of her wins.

Nostradamus stands at Rosemont Stud

Clairvoyance is flying the flag for Rosemont Stud’s Nostradamus. The Medaglia d’Oro (USA) half-brother to Star Witness stands for a fee of $5,500 this season.
