First Win for English Half-Sister

Darryl Sherer - Wednesday July 17
Paris enhanced her already considerable value with a comfortable win at Cranbourne on Wednesday.

Paris as a yearlingBen Melham produced Paris in the home straight to finish best of all to win the 2YO Fillies Maiden Plate (1000m) at her fourth start.

A half-sister to dual Group I winner English (Encosta de Lago), Paris (2 f Snitzel - Court) cost $800,000 as a yearling at the Inglis Australian Easter Sale and is the 12th two-year-old winner for trainer Anthony Freedman this season.

Paris is owned by Peter Moody and Newhaven Park Stud and assistant trainer Sam Freedman told Racing Victoria the stable believes there is still further improvement in Paris.

"Ben (Melham) didn't get caught up in the speed battle, he just let her find her feet and it was good to see her with some clear running in the straight because she showed a really nice turn of foot," Freedman said.


"She pricked her ears at the end so she’s still got a lot to learn.

"The owners have been really patient with her and we're in no rush, she's probably an autumn-type filly that will get better as she gets older."

Snitzel is advertised at $220,000 at Arrowfield Stud for the 2019 season.
