Miss Hellfire Hits Top Form

Tara Madgwick - Saturday December 23

Talented Hellbent mare Miss Hellfire was good enough to run in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic in 2022 won by Coolangatta and will no doubt be heading back to the Gold Coast in January for another crack at the lucrative race day after a stylish victory at Randwick on Saturday.

Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden for Triple Crown Syndications, Miss Hellfire has been very consistent this year and finished 2023 with a strong finishing length and a half win in the Benchmark 78 event over 1200m to the delight of her many owners.

Stakes -placed at two, Miss Hellfire was a modest $60,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newgate Farm draft for Triple Crown Syndications and has the overall record of three wins and eight placings from 18 starts with prizemoney topping $400,000.

She is going to be a valuable broodmare one day as she is a a half-sister to ill-fated stakes-winner Xtreme Time and US Group I placed colt Caracaro as well as Group III placed August Bloom.

Bred by SF Bloodstock and foaled and raised at Newgate, Miss Hellfire is from Peace Time (USA), a placed War Front  daughter of US Group II Hollywood Oaks winner Santa Catarina, who was also four times Group I placed.

Peace Time has no yearling for the sales in 2024, but produced a filly by Snitzel in September and is now in foal to I Am Invincible, so will produce a three-quarter sibling next year to Miss Hellfire, who is by I Am Invincible’s Group I winning son Hellbent.
