Safe Passage as a yearlingRaced by James Chapman’s Jamieson Park, Safe Passage commenced well and sat outside stablemate Oneroa before careering away rounding the home turn and went on to record a comfortable 3.8 length victory over Autobahn, which closed well late.

“It was a good win. She is a promising filly,” Baker said. “She is nominated for the Manawatu Sires’ (Gr.1, 1400m) so we will see how she comes through this and assess where we go next.”

A daughter of champion sire Snitzel, Safe Passage is thesecond winner from Travessia (Jpn), a Deep Impact half-sister to Group I winner The Deputy and champion Japanese sire King Kamehameha.
