HIFALUTIN....AGAIN

Flashy filly HIFALUTIN showed by her win at Belmont on Wednesday that there is more to her than meets the eye. After enjoying the run of the race throughout, this first foal of Perth M.M. winner GAMBEI, showed a brilliant turn of foot when popped the question in the straight by jockey Jason Whiting.The filly quickly established a winning break and I am confident that there are more wins in store for her.

I can recall inspecting the filly with her owners when she was only a few months old at COOLMORE STUD and she looked anything but a future winner at that stage. Her spindly little legs and very slight build was indicative of a first foal however we all agreed that she was not really going to bring much in the sale ring and that we would bring her home and give her every chance to develop.

The way she has matured, with further development expected over the next few months, suggests that we could have a very handy OAKS filly come the Autumn. She will probably have one more run before she has a break during the spring.
