Jaw Dropping Win by Frankel's Miss Fabulass

Mark Smith - Saturday September 15

On a day that saw Winx chalk up her 20th Group 1 win, did we witness the emergence of another star filly?.

John Singleton's Miss Fabulass a royally bred daughter of the unbeaten Frankel out of three-time Group One winner Samantha Miss, showed an eclectic turn of foot to capture Saturday's Group II Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Randwick.

Her dam, who was also trained by Kris Lees, won the same race ten years ago on the way to sweeping the Princess Series.

Trainer Kris Lees said the Group 1 Flight Stakes will be her next start.

"The Flight Stakes is the race we have been aiming at. She's got the brilliance of her mom but just has not got her race sense yet," Lees said,

"I'm deeply honoured that John Singleton and the team have given me this filly to train being by Frankel out of my favourite horse so we are slowly repaying him."

Miss Fabulass races for her breeder, John Singleton's Strawberry Hills Stud who paid $3.85 million for her dam at the 2009 Inglis Easter Broodmare Sale, making her the second highest priced mare ever sold in Australia.

She is the fourth foal, and fourth winner for Samantha Miss, who has a 2yo colt by Medaglia D'Oro (USA) named Geo to follow, as well as a yearling colt by Medaglia D'Oro (USA).

After slipping to Sebring last season, Samantha Miss was back on the plane for another date with Frankel.
