"Graham has done a great job with her and has brought her on nice and quietly."
"She's pulled up well after today's race and we will continue to progress her through the grades looking towards some better staying races next year." commented part-owner Robert Gollan.
Century Miss profits $6,250 from today's win taking her total earnings to over $10,000 and double her purchase price in just four starts.
