Qld calling for NZ Bred Blueblood Madiyya

Breednet - Saturday May 10

Impeccably bred three-year-old filly Madiyya recorded her first metropolitan success when cruising to victory in the Assured Insurance Brokers Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday.

Prepared by Ben, Will and JD Hayes, the daughter of Super Seth was given a perfect ride by Luke Currie, who settled the mare midfield before tracking the leaders into the turn and once balanced up the chestnut filly dashed away to notch her second career victory from three starts.

Bred and raced by Trelawney Stud, Madiyya is a half-sister to dual Group One winner and sire Grunt, in addition to Group Two winning mare Zayydani.

The latter played an important role for the Hayes brothers as they established their careers after the relocation of their father David to Hong Kong, with Zayydani both the first winner for the new-look Lindsay Park and first stakes winner.

“It was a terrific ride by Luke. It was little bit sticky early. He tried to hold a position, and it didn’t quite work out,” Will Hayes said.

“I thought he made a great decision to get in the three-wide line with cover.

“She is still very green and raw with plenty of upside. She didn’t handle that bend terrifically but when she leveled out, she was too strong.

“It was a very exciting win and we are very happy to get the win for Trelawney Stud.”

Hayes indicated a trip north to Queensland could now be on the cards for Madiyya for the Gr.3 Fred Best Classic (1400m) at Eagle Farm at the end of the month.

“She is talented and the first thing we will be guided by is how she pulls up,” Hayes said.

Madiyya’s dam Ruqqaya is a half-sister to Ocean Park and has a weanling colt by Proisir and visited Paddington last spring. – NZ Racing Desk
