Tara Madgwick - Friday October 26
Three year-old Stratum filly Markle makes her debut in New Zealand today at Pukekohe Park, which does make you wonder if Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will be making a side trip to a TAB on their travels today.

Markle as a yearlingBefore her marriage to Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex was Meghan Markle, US actress and star of TV show Suits.

Cambridge Stud's Brendan and Jo Lindsay have settled on Markle as the name for their Stratum filly, who makes her debut in race four over 1200 metres.

A $320,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Widden stud draft by John Foote Bloodstock, Markle is from stakes-placed More Than Ready (USA) mare Fairy Star.
