Early Stakes Double for Sebring

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 16

Widden Stud’s much missed Golden Slipper winning sire Sebring posted an early stakes double with Daisies winning the Group III MRC Ethereal Stakes (2000m) at Caulfield quickly followed by Fangirl, who captured the Listed ATC Reginald Allen Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

A homebred for the Ingham family prepared by Chris Waller, Fangirl carries the famed cerise colours and showed her potential with a five length maiden win at Goulburn on September 25 at her third race start.

Facing a significant step up in class, Fangirl was cluttered up back in the field for James McDonald and when angled into clear running between runners she let down with a sensational turn of foot to scoot clear before holding off a challenge from stablemate Roots to win by half a length.



She emulated the success of her mother Little Surfer Girl, who won the same race in 2009 for the Ingham family and was also trained by Chris Waller.

“She’s a beautiful filly and Chris found a nice race for her here,” said McDonald.

“I know he has big targets for her next preparation in the autumn.”

Fangirl emulates the success of her mother Little Surfer Girl, who won the same race in 2009.

Fangirl has won two of four starts earning $123,000 and is the best of four winners from Little Surfer Girl, who was bought by the Ingham family for $1.5million at the 2008 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

By champion sire Encosta de Lago from Champion 3YO Filly and dual Group I winner Special Harmony, Little Surfer Girl won three stakes races for the Ingham’s during her career and earned over $400,000 in prizemoney.

Fangirl was foaled and raised at Coolmore and is pictured here with her dam Little Surfer Girl in 2018.

Little Surfer Girl has a yearling colt by Pariah, but no foal this spring after missing last year.

Fangirl is the 73rd stakes-winner for Sebring, whose last crop of foals are two year-olds this season.
