Prepared by Justin Snaith, Oh Susanna had won the Group I Cartier Paddock
Stakes and Group I Sun Met Celebrated with GH Mumm at her previous two starts
in January and was returning from a short break. She scored a half length win in the 2000 metre contest as a short priced favourite.
Another freakishly good daughter of Darley's much missed Street Cry, who has also given us Winx and Zenyatta, Oh Susanna has won four of nine starts more than justifying the big price paid for her dam Sharp Susan (USA) in 2012.
When US Group II winner Sharp Susan was offered at the 2012 Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale by Tyreel Stud she attracted plenty of global attention with Badgers Bloodstock securing the prized mare for $1,050,000.
Sharp
Susan is a half-sister to Group I winners Spring at Last and Sharp Lisa, who is
the dam of last year's Group I ATC The Metropolitan winner Foundry (IRE).
Purchased on behalf of South African based Drakenstein Stud, Sharp Susan was sent to stud initially in Australia before being sent to the Northern Hemisphere in 2016.
Foaled and raised at Coolmore before being sent to South Africa as a yearling, Oh Susanna is the third winner for Sharp Susan, whose first foal Indiano Jones was Group II placed in the US and whose second, Biblical Susan, is a winner in South Africa.
The current two year-old from Sharp Susan, a colt by Exceed and Excel, was sold at Inglis Easter last year for $300,000 to Snowden Racing and was consigned by Coolmore. He has been named Signore Fox and is trained by Peter and Paul Snowden for whom he has had four starts earning a second placing at Newcastle.
Sharp Susan's last Australian bred foal is a yearling filly by Fastnet Rock.
