First Winner for Divorces

Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 21
The global Darley breeding operation has seen a number of high class Australian race mares given their chance at stud in the Northern Hemisphere and one of those mares is Divorces, who produced her first winner for Godolphin in the UK on Wednesday.

Two year-old Dubawi colt Imperial Past was sent out favourite in a seven furlong maiden at Yarmouth and the Charlie Appleby prepared youngster got the job done in style.

He raced up on the pace and surged clear to win by three-quarters of a length.

DomesdayA daughter of Aquis Farm's Domesday, Divorces was bred by the old Woodlands Stud and inherited by Darley when they took over the Ingham racing and bloodstock empire.

Divorces was last seen in Australia when finishing a close and unlucky fifth in the Group I Tatts Tiara at Eagle Farm in 2012.

Divorces won the Group III MRC Thousand Guineas Prelude and was also Group I placed.

She is a half-sister to stakes-winner Disputes and this season's talented Snitzel colt Dissolution, who made $1.1 million at the 2016 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Divorces and Dissolution are from Family Breakup, who was on-sold by Darley before Divorces stepped out for just $4,000 back in 2009. She has changed hands several times since then and has a yearling colt by Declaration of War (USA) and was covered by Fastnet Rock last spring.
