Our First Stakes Winner – SHE SHAO FLY
What a performance by this bonny filly…having her 6th Start since late January, SHE SHAO FLY finally had things go her way and she responded by dominating the Gr3 SIRES PRODUCE STAKES at Morphettville over 1400m.
Brilliantly ridden by our new preferred rider, DWAYNE DUNN, she made her own luck this time and the end result was never in doubt.
Set for this race after disappointing in the VRC Sires, Tony McEvoy has brilliantly progressed her towards this race and his team presented her in A+ condition on the day.
Purchased for $67,500 out of the Adelaide Yearling Sale, She Shao Fly becomes the 7th Stakes Winner for her Sire EPAULETTE. She is a 1/2 Sister to multiple Gr1 placed SAMURAI BLADE and from SHAO SHAO, a Sister to SW DAO DAO. She was an astute purchase by Bennett Racing’s Bloodstock Team of Nathan, Phil Wells and Dr Brett Warren. It was Dr Warren who gave the thumbs up to purchase She Shao Fly after many buyers were concerned by a recent injury she carried to the sale. Dr Warren was very confident she would be okay…a terrific call.
Huge thanks to McEvoy Mitchell Racing and Dwayne Dunn and massive congratulations to all the lucky owners.
She Shao Fly will now have a well earned rest as Tony McEvoy plots a path for her to the Spring Carnival.
