Description

It was LOVE at first sight for First Light Racing and this season's VRC Oaks winning trainer Gai Waterhouse when this filly stepped out of her box at Karaka! A stunning athlete by Group 1 Classic sire TAVISTOCK, she descends from New Zealand royalty, being out of the Group 3 placed O'Reilly mare LOVETESSA, a close descendant of the amazing Sir Tristram mare TRISTALOVE.


A physically imposing filly, she's strong, she's scopey and she has all the qualities four time Oaks winning trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott look for in an Oaks filly! Sire of Classic winners and Champions - TAVISTOCK has produced 13 group or stakes winners from his first 2 crops including FIVE individual Gr.1 winners in TARZINO, VOLKSTOK'N'BARRELL, WERTHER, TAVAGO and INFANTRY plus further Stakes Winning fillies AVISTO, TAVY and last season's VRC Oaks runner up HARLOW GOLD.


Bred by New Zealand's most iconic Thoroughbred nurseries Cambridge Stud (responsible for standing the greatest stallions to have ever stood in New Zealand, Sir Tristram and Zabeel) this filly is from a Classic Kiwi staying family that was in high demand at the Karaka sales. She is only the second foal out of the Group 3 placed O'Reilly mare Lovetessa who is a direct descendant of TRISTALOVE. A family that includes the likes Group 1 gallopers VISCOUNT, VIKING RULER, LOVETRISTA, KEMPINSKY, DIAMOND LIKE, FOREVER LOVED, DE BEERS, DON EDUARDO and more!


Gai Waterhouse - "I adored this filly. I've had wonderful success out of Karaka and went to New Zealand this year to specifically find a staying filly for the First Light team and she ticked all the boxes. She's just gorgeous, very strong and athletic with good bone and substance. She just floats over the ground and she's got quite a bit of spunk about her which I love."


"I train her 2yo brother who is a promising young lad and she is so much like my VRC Oaks winner Pinot - she'll be a lovely 3yo staying filly for us and with such a beautiful page she'll carry amazing residual value with any black type win on her record. A super buy from a strong edition of the Karaka sale."
