Validation of the English 2-year-old filly Inspiral’s apparent talent has traveled all the way to North America. Three for three to start her career and the strong favorite in Friday’s Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket, Inspiral won the listed Star Stakes at Sandown Park by 3 1/2 lengths over Wild Beauty for her second win. Wild Beauty, also entered in the Fillies' Mile, shipped to Canada last month and won the Group 1 Natalma at Woobine by more than two lengths.
Friday at Port Macquarie Racecourse, Our Intrigue will start in her richest race of the year in the $145,380 Port Macquarie Cup at 1 1/4 miles.
The Irish-bred filly Love Takes Time has the pedigree to be a star, and could develop into such a runner in Australia in the near future.
