She Dances Leads Home a 1-2 for Peter Moody at Flemington

Mark Smith - Saturday December 17

Peter Moody declared pre-race that there was little between his two runners in Saturday’s Lexus Holiday Plate (1200m), and he was on the mark with the outsider of the pair proving too good for her stablemate.

With Luke Nolen in the saddle, the Street Boss (USA) filly She Dances chartered a course down the centre of the track to defeat stablemate River Noire (Winning Rupert) by a length with Prairie Flower (Star Turn) a length and a quarter back in third.

“She was good and tough. I think that if Luke had ridden her like that in (Group III Red Roses Stakes) Cup week, we could have had a filly with black type on board,” Moody said.

“The difference between the fillies was probably race nous. River Noire was there to win but did not know how to put the other one away. We saw experience come to the fore. That takes you a long way in life.

“The next step is black-type, but for a filly like She Dances, there is a VOBIS Gold Rush for 3yo fillies race in two weeks and that VOBS gold money is too good to ignore. I think River Noire may have a VOBIS tag on her backside, so there is a chance they clash again.

“We may look to the back end of the autumn for black-type.”

She Dances advances her record to three wins from five starts with earnings of $220,600.

Bred by Des Pope, She Dances was a $180,000 purchase for John Foote Bloodstock from the Blue Gum Farm draft at the 2021 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale.

Sporting the silks of Limerick Lane’s Gerry Ryan and partners, the daughter of Street Boss (USA) is the first foal of the winning Lonhro mare Charleston Dancer.

A half-sister to Listed winner Chloe In Paris (Exceed And Excel) and Inglis Banner (LR) winner Ideas Man (Brazen Beau), Charleston Dancer is a daughter of the Pope family’s multiple Group winner and dual Group 1 placed Innovation Girl (Rubiton).

Charleston Dancer has a yearling filly by Snitzel and foaled another Snitzel filly on October 30.

Darley Stud’s Street Boss (USA) has nine catalogued for the Magic Millions, four for the Inglis Classic, 14 for the Inglis Premier, and one at Karaka.

G1 Older Sprinters- Are Our Sprinters the Best in the World?
The Australian G1 season has concluded and there were 23 Group I races won by older horses at a distance less than 1600m, but one race that fits the category but is yet to be given G1 status is the $10million Golden Eagle (1500m) and form out of it would suggest it was the best of them all.
G1 3YOs - Where the Real Action Is
2YO racing might garner a lot of attention, but the reality is G1 races run for this age group are shining a light on a comparatively small slice of that foal crop, whereas 3YO racing is where the real action lies as the good horses from the season before have to step up or slide out of contention.
