Toronado's Laced Up Heels Ends Amelia’s Jewel's Unbeaten Run

Mark Smith - Wednesday November 2

The three-year-old Toronado (IRE) filly Laced Up Heels brought the unbeaten run of Amelia’s Jewel to an end in the Listed Tabtouch-Burgess Queen Stakes (1400m) at Ascot on Tuesday.

Ridden by Chris Parnham for Luke Fernie, Laced Up Heels was well back early with the favourite Amelia’s Jewel on her back.

When Parnham asked the Toronado filly for an effort on straightening she stole a two-length break on Amelia’s Jewel (Siyouni), who could only close the gap to a long neck on the line.

Miss Drakova (Capitalist) was a further two and a quarter lengths back in third.

Coming into the race off a narrow win over a 1000m at Ascot on October 15, Laced Up Heels advances her record to three wins from five starts with earnings of $115,915.

“She didn’t have any luck in the three-year-old Classic, and I look at her and know there’s a machine there, Fernie told RWA.

“I just needed a little bit of luck to go our way, and she got that today.”

Owned by Geisel Park Stud, Laced Up Heels was a $100,000 purchase for Boomer Bloodstock (FBAA) from the Supreme Thoroughbreds draft at the 2021 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

Laced Up Heels a $100,000 Inglis Premier yearling

She is the best of four winners from as many to race out of the Exceed And Excel mare A City Girl, who was purchased for just $4,000 at the 2012 Inglis August Thoroughbred Sale.

The pedigree received a significant boost when A City Girl’s stakes-winning half-sister Missy Cummings (Magnus) produced the top-class Zoustar filly Mizzy.

Mizzy earned her Group 1 in the Canterbury Stakes almost 12 months after first past Savatiano the post was disqualified. Mizzy would make $2.2m to the bid of Tom Magnier at the 2021 National broodmare Sale.

A full brother to Laced Up Heels was a $110,000 purchase for E Cummings / Myrtle House from the Supreme Thoroughbreds draft at the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.

A City Girl has a yearling filly by Shalaa (IRE) and a filly foal by Nicconi.

Laced Up Heels is the 28th stakes-winner for Toronado (IRE), who enjoyed a profitable Melbourne Cup Day with Fender winning at Randwick, Vain Fox at the Sunshine Coast, and cult hero Shelby Sixtysix finishing second in the Listed MSS Security Sprint on the Melbourne Cup undercard.
