20 NH Winners for Epaulette

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 15

With his first Australian two year-olds now out and running, Darley's Epaulette is coming to the end of his first season with Northern Hemisphere runners and posted his 20th overnight in Italy.

Two year-old filly Malika Moon ran out an impressive winner of the one-mile maiden in Rome on Tuesday.

Settled off the early pace, Malika Moon powered to the line to win by four lengths.
Melika Moon was bred in Ireland by Michael Joyce and is the fourth winner for She Runs, a half-sister to French stakes-winner Troque.

Epaulette's tally of 20 Northern Hemisphere winners is headed by Group placed colt McMunigal and stakes-placed Sankari Royale.

Epaulette is returning to Ireland again in 2018 for Darley and is currently at their Aberdeen base standing at a fee of $22,000.
