Tara Madgwick - Friday May 18
Two year-old Shamus Award filly Jailhouse Jazz opened her account at the second time of asking when saluting at Vaal in South Africa on Thursday.

Jailhouse Jazz as a yearlingTrained by Mike de Kock, Jailhouse Jazz improved on her debut fourth to score an easy two and a quarter length win beating older rivals in the 1450 metre maiden as favourite.

A $90,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Form Bloodstock from the Two Bays Farm draft, she was a successful pinhook having been sold first at the Inglis Australian Weanling Sale where she made $60,000 when offered by Maluka Thoroughbreds.
