Shooting to Win

Third and second at her only two previous runs, the Phillip stokes trained filly was ready to break the ice and surged home to win the 1200 metre sprint by a long neck.

A $150,000 Inglis Premier purchase for her trainer from the Glentree Thoroughbreds draft, Éclair Breeze is the second winner from stakes-winning Exceed and Excel mare Armed for Action, who was also placed in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes.

Éclair Breeze is the sixth winner for Shooting to Win and four of those winners are metropolitan winners.

The Group I winning son of Northern Meteor stands at Darley this spring at a fee of $22,000.
