Thumping win for promising American mare

THUMPING goes to the post on a tight hold by Alan Munro - SNTC photo

Hideyuki Takaoka, who 'lost'  BETTER LIFE to the breeding barn after the champion mare won the Emirates Singapore Derby last week, may have found another potential top mare in THUMPING.

The three-year-old American filly made an encouraging debut last month when she had to travelled wide to finish third over 1200m.

With the run under her belt, THUMPING overcame wide draw again today to win as she liked by three-and-three-quarter lengths in the Brisbane Racing Club Trophy for Restricted Maiden horses over 1400m.

"She’s still very green, but she’s certainly got some ability,” said the Japanese trainer who seems to have a way with the ladies, having previously also prepared JOLIE'S SHINJU to win the Derby as well. "As she’s by Any Given Saturday, I think she can go for more distance in the future."
