South Australia, October 5 – The restricted 1400 metre three year-old event at Morphettville Parks on Monday was won by the David Hayes trained Catbird filly Tantomile, a $185,000 Magic Millions purchase for De Burgh Equine from the Yarraman Park draft in 2008.
Outclassed at her previous start in the Listed SAJC Lindsay Park Guineas behind subsequent Group Two winner Majestic Music, Tantomile appreciated the drop back in grade and ran her usual honest race to score by a head in a driving finish.
Raced by a large syndicate including Blue Sky Thoroughbreds, Tantomile has won two races and placed twice from eight starts.
She is the second foal of the Barathea (IRE) mare Theatrical Star, a half-sister to Group Three winner Flaming Heart from the family of Group One winner Unworldly.
Theatrical Star has a two year-old full brother to Tantomile called Goldcat and a yearling filly by Foreplay.
