Tassort 2YO Filly Too Good

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday April 30

Just days after Tassort narrowly missed G1 success in Adelaide where his star three year-old filly Ameena was edged out of victory in the SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes, he struck at Canterbury with another promising filly.

Trained by Peter Snowden and ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, Miss Freelove showed good potential at her first start two weeks ago when running third at Warwick Farm and went to the post as favourite.

She led and controlled the race comfortably before dashing away to win the 1100m maiden by more than two lengths prompting praise from her trainer.

“She travelled really well and I thought, watching the race coming to the corner, if she doesn't find something here, we're in a bit of trouble, because she had such a soft lead,” said Peter Snowden.

“Kerrin rated her well and it was good to see her win the way she did.

“I like her, I've always liked her and she’s by a stallion sire (Tassort) that;s doing a great job and they keep improving . I like her, she's doing a great job. I just keep on improving although how far we go in this prep will be decided by how she pulls up.”

Miss Freelove was a $110,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase.

Miss Freelove carries the Trilogy Racing colours and was a $110,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase for Trilogy Racing/Suman Hedge Bloodstock from the draft of Twin Hills Stud.

Bred by Redbank North, she is the third winner from three to race from Vee, an unraced half-sister by Sebring to stakes-winner Terror Force.

Miss Freelove is the fifth winner from 13 starters out of the second crop of Tassort, who stands at a fee of $38,500 this spring at Newgate Farm.
