One to Watch – Bendigo

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 28

The last crop of foals by legendary sire Redoute’s Choice were foaled in 2019 and his last ever yearling to be sold at Inglis Easter opened her account at Bendigo on Tuesday for the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman stable.

Carrying the colours of Judy Wanless, Miss Passion had five starts last year and placed in all of them, but failed to win and was returning for her  first run after more than a year off.

Well fancied despite the lack of match practice, Miss Passion got the job done with Billy Egan in the saddle scoring by more than a length in the 1100m maiden.

“She was struggling a little bit in herself at the finish and you could tell she’d had a fair time off racing,” said Billy Egan.

“She had a decent blow after and will take a lot of improvement from the race.”

Bred and sold by Fernrigg Farm., Miss Passion was a $760,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Moody Racing / Tasman Bloodstock and is the second winner from Australian bred South African Group II winner Mella Maria, who produced a colt this spring for Fernrigg Farm by Bivouac.

Miss Passion is the 13th winner from 20 starters from the final crop of 23 foals by Redoute’s Choice that are highlighted by Group I winner Rediener and stakes-winner Soul Choice.
