Sydney, December 14 – The Ratings 75 event for three year-olds at Rosehill on Saturday eventually went to talented Encosta de Lago filly Margham, a $700,000 purchase from the draft of Yarraman Park at the 2007 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale.

Margham failed narrowly to overhaul first past the post Barabucci in the run to the line, but was later awarded the race in the stewards room following a successful protest.

Margham, racing outside of Mine In Time and inside of Barabucci was disappointed for a run near the 300 metres, which Rod Quinn claimed “cost me at least two lengths and all my momentum”.

Stewards concurred and the Peter Snowden trained filly was given the race taking her record to two wins and two placings from six starts with prizemoney just shy of $90,000.

Bred by Mike O’Donnell of Fairhill Farm, Margham was consigned by Yarraman on his behalf and is the fourth foal of stakes-placed Desert End (USA), a half-sister to stakes-winner Royal Med (USA), the dam of classy Kiwi Group Two winner Millennium.
