Winning Debut for More Than Ready's Amazonian Lass

Mark Smith - Wednesday March 1

More Than Ready (USA) is on the board with his final crop of two-year-olds after Amazonian Lass made the perfect start to her career in the Home Affairs At Coolmore (1100m) at Warwick Farm.

Ridden by Brett Prebble for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, the Go Bloodstock colourbearer led at every call to defeat Godolphin’s Exceed And Excel colt Stanislaus by a neck with the Gary Portelli-trained Capitalist colt Encap a half-neck back in third.

“She is a filly going places,” Adrian Bott said.

“There is a lot of improvement to come.

“She still looked a bit new at various stages of the race, but her class got her through. She kept responding under pressure.

“She is a lovely big strong filly who paraded very well and had the groundwork going into the race.”

A $325,000 purchase for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott/Kestrel Thoroughbreds from the Segenhoe Stud draft at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Amazonian Lass races for a syndicate that includes her breeder Sir Owen Glenn’s Go Bloodstock.

She is the second winner from as many foals for the Warwick Farm-winning Fastnet Rock mare Dynastic Lady.

A $240,000 Easter Yearling purchase for Paul Moroney Bloodstock, Dynastic Lady is a sister to Group 1 WRC Levin Classic winner Age Of Fire and stakes-placed Sacred Valley.

Gollan Racing/John Foote Bloodstock (FBAA)/Blacksoil Bloodstock/ARJB Racing shelled out $750,000 for Dynastic Lady’s Zoustar filly offered by Segenhoe at the Magic Millions in January.

After foaling a Lonhro colt last spring, Dynastic Lady visited Captivant.
