Bay Filly by Cotai Glory – 39,000 EUR

This speedily bred daughter of Cotai Glory was high on our shortlist at the Orby Book 2 sale and it was no surprise that we had to fend off competition from breeze up consignors to purchase her. She is a February foal, out of a six furlong winner from the family of a champion two year old in Culture Vulture.

We know quite a bit about this family as we have her half brother Phoenix Of Dreams in our yard. He is quite a capable sprinter with his best days still in front of him. However, this filly is a much sharper type and in our opinion looks even faster. Her sire Cotai Glory was a high class sprinter who has already sired a five furlong Group 1 winning filly in The Platinum Queen. Throw in to the mix that she is quite closely related to a Gimcrack winner called Approve and you can see there is a pretty potent mix of speed and quality in her pedigree.

She is currently being broken in at our yard and is a very quick learner. If it’s early action next season that you are looking for then this filly should hit the brief. She was also entered in the Goffs Two Million series upon being purchased meaning that she qualifies to run in 50,000 Euro bonus maiden and novice races next season. By the end of the year she could well have paid for herself!

Purchase price: 39,000 Euros (plus 5% agent commission)
