Deep Impact Mare Off The Mark

Mark Smith - Tuesday March 16

The four-year-old Deep Impact (JPN) mare Lost Impact broke her maiden at the third time of asking in an 1800m maiden at Hawkesbury on Tuesday.

Ridden by Jay Ford for trainer Stephen O'Halloran, Lost Impact kept up a solid gallop to defeat the 3yo Medaglia d'Oro gelding Ossabuco by a neck with a further two and a half lengths back to the 3yo Tavistock filly Bedford Square in third.

A homebred for Paul Fudge's Waratah Thoroughbreds, Lost Impact made her debut in February when second at Hawkesbury before disappointing at Gosford a fortnight later.

Lost Impact spent her two and three-year-old seasons trialling. By the time she made her career debut at Hawkesbury, the daughter of Deep Impact (JPN) had contested eight official barrier trials.

Lost Impact is the fourth named foal of her dam Siren's Song (IRE), who was purchased by Waratah Thoroughbreds for 300,000 guineas at Tattersalls November in 2011.
