Unbeaten Filly To Seek Black Type

Exciting filly Salinas booked a trip to Adelaide for the Listed Lindsay Park Guineas when she extended her unbeaten streak to three with an impressive win in the open three year-old fillies event over 1400 metres at Caulfield on Saturday.

A filly with an impressive pedigree, Salinas will be out to boost her residual value when she hops the border for the black type event for three-year-olds at Morphettville.

The promising filly showed great fight when the fancied rival Recorrido ranged up with a furlong to run. As she did in her previous outing when challenged over the concluding stages at Flemington, Salinas pulled up plenty to win impressively.

As winning trainer Peter Moody pointed out there could be no excuses offered by anything that finished behind Salinas this afternoon. "No horse worked harder than her in the run," Moody said.

"She's a good, tough filly and I think the way you see her stick on at the end of this shows she's going to be better over longer later on," he added. He said the progressive filly would now be out to win a stakes race.

"The Morphettville Guineas is probably a nice race for her. I don't think she will be participating late in the spring so we might try and get some black type before she goes to the paddock."

"I think she will be a nice staying filly in the autumn," he summed up.

Bred and sold by Adam Sangster's Swettenham Stud, Salinas was purchased for owner Gerry Ryan by Moody for $90,000 at last year's Magic Millions Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast.

The filly from just three starts has already returned her connections over $92,000.

Salinas, a member of the first crop of Danehill's well bred Emirates Park based stallion Al Maher, is one of five winners from five runners to race from the Group One winner Leica Smile.
