Second Win for Speedy Sangria

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday September 25
Blue-blooded I Am Invincible filly Sangria broke the track record for 1100 metres at Hawkesbury when winning her maiden earlier this month and stepped it up a notch to win in midweek company at Canterbury on Wednesday.

Sangria as a yearlingThe Peter and Paul Snowden trained filly was a touch slow to jump, but worked through to take the lead and was strong to the line in winning the 1250 metre Benchmark 64 by a long neck, her second win from four starts.

"She's still learning all the time, so it's good to keep her winning as each time she steps out she gets better," said Paul Snowden.

Winning rider Tommy Berry was impressed with Sangria and believes she has stakes potential as her racing manners improve.

"She still only relaxed for a furlong and a half and the rest of the time wants to pull which told at the end," Berry said.

"She has Black Type potential, she's progressive, it's just a matter of time."

Purchased by James Harron Bloodstock for $650,000 out of the Newgate Farm draft at the 2018 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale for Fairway Thoroughbreds, Sangria was foaled and raised at Newgate and is the result of a massive spend by Newgate and partners at the 2014 Teeley Asset dispersal.

Newgate outlaid $1,500,000 for Sangria's stakes-placed dam Quench The Thirst (Encosta de Lago) and also purchased her sister Precious Lorraine for $1,500,000 and half-sisters Your Lifestyle (Hussonet) for $1.200,000, Café Scientific (More Than Ready) for $650,000 and Princess Narine (Red Ransom) for $600,000.

They are all daughters of Redoute's Choice's stakes-placed sister Monsoon Wedding whose half-sister Ten Carat Rock (Rock Of Gibraltar) also went the way of Newgate for $750,000.

Quench the Thirst has a yearling filly by Snitzel and is due to foal to Merchant Navy.
