Rosemont Celebrate Three in a Row for Miss Tarzy

Media Release - Saturday December 30

Progressive mare Miss Tarzy has been in outstanding form this campaign and the daughter of Tarzino continued her rich run of form at The Valley on Saturday when running out a ready winner of the Blake Albones Memorial Handicap (2040m) under jockey Rhys McLeod.

The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained four-year-old has now won three races in succession, with wins at Seymour and The Valley preceding Saturday’s triumph.

From barrier 1, Miss Tarzy sat just behind the leaders throughout and was nursed through a flat-spot by the in-form McLeod before extending impressively for a length and three-quarters victory.

“She is three from three this prep,” stable representative Steve Adams said.

“She was going OK last time in but this preparation she has found another gear and hopefully she can keep putting them together

“It was always going to be tricky from barrier 1 and earlier in the day they were getting off the fence and I thought it might work out for her, but she came off the bit and was in a little bit of trouble there for a while but he made his way off and it was a great ride in the end.”

McLeod, who with 37 wins from 209 rides this season has an impressive 17.7 percent winning strike-rate, was back aboard the mare after winning on her fresh-up at Seymour before Ben Allen was successful on the mare earlier in the month at The Valley.

“She was right on-song today,” McLeod said. 

“Obviously three wins in a row now. First-up it was a good effort and then she backed it up last-start and again today. The stable have got her flying.

“She was a little bit tardy to begin and I didn’t want to rub her too much, so I ended up in the box seat and I was a little bit wary of that but we ended up pushing our way out and having a nice run. It was a good win.”

Bred and raced in a syndicate by Rosemont Stud, Miss Tarzy is a daughter of Westbury Stud stallion Tarzino and the French-bred mare Grise Leigh.

The dam is a half-sister to the Gr.1 Criterium de Saint Cloud (2000m) winner Morandi with Gr.1 Queen Anne Stakes (1600m) winner Lord Glitters also a decorated family member. – NZ Racing Desk
