Another Promising Winner for Deep Field

Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 21
Newgate Farm's Deep Field has the favourite for the Group I ATC Golden Slipper this Saturday in Cosmic Force and added another nice new winner to his tally with a Newcastle victory on Thursday for Bullet Fly.

Bullet Fly as a yearlingHaving his third race start after placing at his first two in good company, the Peter and Paul Snowden trained Bullet Fly showed the benefit of race fitness and experience to surge clear and win the 1400 metre maiden by more than a length.

He was a short priced favourite and won with the sort of authority that will have connections looking at Black Type races with the Group I ATC Sires Produce over the same distance a likely target.

A $340,000 Magic Millions purchase for Sweetbriar Equine/Snowden Racing P/L from the Musk Creek Farm draft, Bullet Fly was a successful pinhook having been plucked from the Attunga Stud draft from the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $240,000 by Musk Creek.

Bullet Fly is a half-brother to stakes-placed Princess Pierro and is the second winner from Caesar's Princess, who comes from the family of Group I winning sprinter Atomic Force and Champion Two and Three Year Old Encounter.


Caesar's Princess is in foal to another of the young Newgate Farm sires in Capitalist.


Bullet Fly is the fifth winner for Deep Field, who covered a big book of 246 mares last spring.
