$15,000 Bargain Filly Becomes First Aussie SW Earthlight

Tara Madgwick - Saturday April 12

The Listed SAJC Without Fear Stakes (1050m) at Morphettville on Saturday had a short priced favourite in Tagaloa filly Meisho, but she proved no match for the Amy and Ash Yargi trained filly Petit Artiste, a bargain basement $15,000 Inglis Premier purchase for her trainers.

Fifth on debut in the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes and then third last start at Sandown, she charged away from Meisho with Daniel Stackhouse in the saddle to win as she pleased by four lengths.

“I said to everyone that's the only time we've taken one over to Adelaide apart from Rebel in the Adelaide Cup, we were confident and I mean that,” said Amy Yargi.

“We were confident with Rebel and we were confident with this filly and the market sort of intimidates you a little bit but I'm really proud of Ash, our whole team.

“We've got a great team of people behind us and I only paid $15,000 for her at Inglis Premier last year and we've now got a stakes winning filly. We're absolutely thrilled.”

Petit Artiste was purchased for just $15,000 at Inglis Premier.

A $15,000 Inglis Premier purchase for her trainers from the Collingrove Stud draft, Petit Artiste is a half-sister to stakes-placed Miss Albania and is the first stakes-winner among five winners from seven to race out of Little Artist.

By champion sire More Than Ready (USA), Little Artist is a half-sister to staying stakes-winner Apprehend from another staying stakes-winner Regal Touch, so Petit Artiste should have no trouble stepping out over further as her career unfolds.

Little Artist was put through Inglis Digital last June and sold for $700 to Claremont Thoroughbreds and produced a colt last year by Royal Symphony and was then covered by Atomic.

Petit Artiste is the first Australian winner and stakes-winner for Darley shuttler Earthlight (IRE), a Group I winning son of Shamardal.
