First Stakes winner for Mulaazem as Liwa Completes a Good Weekend for Emirates Park

Mark Smith - Sunday March 7

One of seven live foals from the final Australian crop of Sepoy’s Group II winning half-brother Mulaazem, two-year-old filly Liwa broke her maiden in Sunday’s $100,000 Listed Supremacy Stakes (1000m) at Ascot to credit her sire with his first stakes-winner.

Emirates Park has enjoyed a good weekend, and their homebred filly Liwa topped it off.

Ridden by Pat Carbery for trainer Simon Miller, Liwa came from midfield to run down last start Ascot winner Pixie Chix (Rommel) by a short-half-head, fast-finishing Hoi An (Longma) one and a half lengths back in third.

It was the fourth trip at Ascot for Liwa, who had failed to place in her first three without being disgraced.

“She’s a very mature filly, she does everything right at home,” stable representative Kelly Kinninmont told Sky Racing.

uo;We did a bit of a gear change with the bit and with the hot speed today, it suited her perfectly.

“I believe Simon has won this race about six times now.”

Liwa is the second winner from as many to race out of the Redoute’s Choice mare Sboog.

Emirates Park shelled out $1million for Sboog at the 2011 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

She returned just $8,850 of that back on the track. A second at Wyong when on debut was the best she could achieve in eight starts.

Sboog is a half-sister to Group II BRC Queensland Guineas winner and successful sire Rothesay, the dual stakes-winner Sensei (Dream Ahead) and the ATC Inglis 2YO Millennium runner-up Baranof (Hinchinbrook).

 Sold at the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast National Broodmare Sale for $100,000, Sboog has a yearling filly by Sebring, which was purchased by Matthew Dale for $100,000 out of the Emirates Park draft at the recent inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

Sboog has a weanling colt by Spirit Of Boom, and was covered last spring by Pierata.

The winner of the Group II MRC Autumn Stakes in 2013, Mulaazem (Dubai Destination) spent five seasons divided between Emirates Park’s Victorian and Hunter Valley properties.

He was exported to New Zealand in 2018.

Liwa was one of three stakes-winners bred over the weekend joining Lightsaber and Marboosha, click to read about them.
