First Stakes-Winner for Kobayashi

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 4

You can’t underestimate a tough, fit filly in good form and the Les Ross trained Mishani Lily is just that and she proved too good for the colts when taking out the Listed BRC Dalrello Stakes (1000m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday to credit her sire Kobayashi with his first stakes-winner.

Mishani Lily kicked off her career with a debut win last September and has raced consistently since then coming into this assignment with three wins and two placings from seven starts.

Far more experienced than her rivals, Mishani Lily led for home under Vlad Duric and held all challengers off to win by half a length over late closing I Am Invincible colt Embassy.

She clocked a brilliant 56.89 for the 1000m running her last 600 33.40.

“Sufferin’ succotash- they can’t run any faster than that!” said Les Ross.

“She can muster along and under the weights, she was pitchforked in at 55kg.”

A homebred for Mike Crooks and his Mishani Enterprises, Mishani Lily has now won four of eight starts banking over $440,000.

She is the best of two winners from winning Written Tycoon mare Sweet Savannah, who traces back to Group II WATC West Australian Oaks winner Mystic Chantry with this family also producing this season’s dual Group I winning mare Magic Time, who is interestingly also by a sire son of I Am Invincible in Hellbent.

Sweet Savannah was one of 104 mares covered last spring by Aquis based Kobayashi, a stakes-winning son of I Am Invincible that stood last year at a fee of $8,800.

Kobayashi has had a good season with his two year-olds siring five winners from 11 starters and they include Mishani Aloha, who won the $500,000 Aquis Jewel.
