One to Watch Wins Again

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 3
Featured as a Breednet ‘One to Watch’ when she broke her maiden last September, this daughter of Fastnet Rock again showed promise of better to come when winning at Sandown on Wednesday.

A homebred for Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum prepared by Mick Price, promising filly Tagreeda was having her second run back from a spell and powered clear to win over 1500 metres by a length and a half with Damien Oliver in the saddle.

Fastnet RockShe started favourite and has now had four starts for two wins and two seconds.

"We ended up having a nice enough run and she switched off well,” Oliver said. "She got clear at the right time and she won well.

"She’s always shown a bit of promise and she’s putting it all together now.”

A half-sister to Group III placed High Spirit, Tagreeda is the third winner for Azumi, an unraced sister to champion filly Alinghi and stakes-placed producers Slice of Paradise (dam of Beneteau) and Perfect Persuasion.

A $1.4 million purchase from the 2007 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, Azumi has been a regular partner for Fastnet Rock and there is a two year-old filly and yearling filly to follow Tagreeda by the Coolmore heavyweight.

Azumi had a change of pace last spring and was covered American Pharoah (USA).
