Unbeaten General Filly Chases Grafton Bonus

18th Jun 2009

Racing And Sports - Thursday, 18 June 2009

The $50,000 Inglis Race Series Bonus at Grafton next month is in the sights of trainer Alan Bailey, following the emergence of exciting filly Andsosayallofus.

A daughter of General Nediym, Andsosayallofus debuted against older horses at Doomben earlier this month and proved a class above, winning by three and a half lengths.

Taken to Ipswich last Saturday, the filly dropped back to the 1100m but still proved too strong, powering to the line to make it two from two.

Andsosayallofus is from the Keltrice mare Porschalaine, who in turn is a half-sister to G2 Maribyrnong Plate winner Jiang.

She cost $180,000 from last year's Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale and Bailey is now hoping to secure some of the big Inglis bonus money.

The Grafton race is set down for July 16 as part of the Clarence River Jockey Club's big two day Ramornie and Cup carnival.

A win in that race will earn connections the best part of $70,000.

Moonee Valley will host the next event in the Inglis Race Series, with a $100,000 Bonus up for grabs in the two-year-old event on July 11.

The 2008 graduates will get their first chance to secure a 3YO Bonus on August 1, with a $100,000 purse added to the 3YO Quality event that day at Rosehill.

Buyers of 2009 Inglis yearlings have until July 31 to pay up for the Series, with a $2200 cost for Easter, Melbourne Premier and Sydney Classic graduates, and $1100 for Scone and Melbourne Autumn graduates.
