Sydney, July 24 – Posting her first metropolitan victory at Canterbury on Wednesday was three year-old Casino Prince filly Fine Bubbles, a $105,000 Magic Millions purchase from the draft of Yarraman Park.
The Kris Lees trained filly made light of the jump in class from a Scone Class One win at her previous start, storming home from a clear last to nail the Darley runner Pleiades right on the line in a thrilling finish to the 1250 metre sprint.
“It was a really good effort because she dug deep and came from a long way off them to win,” said winning rider Nash Rawiller.
Fine Bubbles has won three races and placed four times from 10 starts earning more than $96,000 in prizemoney for her owners, who include her trainer and her breeders Ron Dufficy and the Yarraman Park Syndicate.
Fine Bubbles is the first foal of stakes-winning Sri Pekan (USA) mare Pekalan, who comes from the family of slick stakes-winners Hot as Hell, Craig’s Dragon and Flaming Hot.
Pekalan has a yearling filly and weanling colt by Yarraman Park stalwart Magic Albert and is due to foal this spring to another Yarraman Park sire in Hinchinbrook.
