Star filly Miracles of Life led a number of significant pedigree updates in the lead up to the 2014 Magic Millions National Sale at the Gold Coast.
One of the most popular gallopers in the country, Miracles of Life added another feature win to her impressive record when she romped away with Saturday’s Group Two Euclase Stakes at Morphettville.
The three-year-old daughter of Not a Single Doubt sat outside the leader for much of the race before bursting to the front in the straight and racing away for the easiest of wins.
Trainer Dan Clarken said the bonny filly would run in this week’s Group One The Goodwood at the same track provided she pleased him in the coming days.
“It would be incredible to see her go out with a big run, maybe even a win, in a Group One,” Clarken said.
“She’s in great shape and provided she pulls up well and pleases me we’ll probably run in The Goodwood.”
Miracles of Life is one of the many feature lots of a star studded Teeley Reduction draft to go under the hammer. Catalogued as Lot 706 she will go under the hammer on May 28.
Around 10 minutes after the star filly goes under the hammer, her dam, the More Than Ready mare Dazzling Gazzle, will be presented to buyers.
Catalogued as Lot 711, Dazzling Gazzle is believed in foal to Not a Single Doubt with the resultant August foal to be a full relation to Miracles of Life.
Group One winning mare Fashions Afield (Lot 866) received a boost on Saturday when her promising daughter Paris Match scored black type on the Gold Coast.
Paris Match showed she was on track for a Queensland Oaks campaign when she second, beaten in a photo finish, in the Gold Coast Bracelet at listed level.
Aqua d’Amore (Lot 1252), another of the Group One winning mares catalogued, received a boost when her three quarter sister Petrology earned black type with a second placing in Saturday’s Sky High Mount Dandenong Stakes at Caulfield.
