Second Win for Mossfun's Frankel Filly and the Form is Stacking Up

Mark Smith - Sunday August 22

Sadmah, a daughter of the Golden Slipper winner Mossfun, carried the Emirates Park colours to a dominant win over 6-furlongs at Chester overnight.

It was the second win in three starts for the progressive daughter of Frankel.

Ridden by Tom Eaves, the Kevin Ryan-trained filly bounced back from her unplaced effort in the Group II Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Ascot to overpower the favoured Starspangledbanner filly Little Miss Dynamo by a length with a further neck back to the Acclaim filly Banana in third.

Sadmah made a winning career debut at Haydock, defeating Madame Bonbon (Iffraaj) and Attagirl at Haydock (Wootton Bassett).

Attagirl franked that form by winning the Listed Julia Graves Roses Stakes at York overnight after finishing second in the Listed St Hughes Stakes at Newbury. (read that story here).

Sadmah’s brother Dajraan has also been in fine form of late.

He broke his maiden with a seven and a half-length romp at Redcar on June 21 before finishing second at Leicester in July. On August 8, Dajraan scored a two and three-quarter length triumph over 7-furlongs at Leicester at his most recent start.

A daughter of  Vinery Stud stalwart Mossman, who recently died at the age of 26,  Mossfun was bought by Emirates Park at 2013 Inglis Easter out of the Fairview Park draft for $85,000.

She returned over and $2.5 million in prizemoney on the track.

She went to stud first in Australia, producing the Fastnet Rock filly, Tumooh, that was retired unraced and is now in foal to I Am Invincible.

Sent to the Northern Hemisphere in 2017, Mossfun had the three-year-old Dajraan and two-year-old Sadmah before returning to Australia in 2019.

The Golden Slipper winner has a yearling filly by I Am Invincible and is back in foal to him again.
