One to Watch – Moe

Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 16

The Inglis Great Southern Sale is done and dusted for this year, but a weanling filly that was bought from the sale in 2022 for $100,000 caught our eye on Sunday for both her pedigree and her talent.

Conceived in the Northern Hemisphere, two year-old Night of Thunder filly Night Colours opened her account in style at Moe in a 1200m maiden against older rivals.

The Patrick Payne trained filly powered clear to win by three and a half lengths at her third start and second this preparation and is obviously on the improve.

Night Colours was purchased by Andrew Williams Bloodstock from the Three Bridges Thoroughbreds and carries the colours of the Tait family with Olly Tait having a great knowledge of international pedigrees from his years at Darley.
