Anabaa filly turns heads with brilliant win

Brisbane, April 26 - Exciting Anabaa filly Virage De Fortune amply demonstrated her talent at Eagle Farm with a storming six length win from the widest barrier.
The Bruce McLachlan-trained filly is nominated for the Group One QTC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 4 and The Group One T.J. Smith (1600m) on June 13 at the same track.
Her tilt at the Magic Millions was scrapped after a barrier incident in a lead-up race in early January resulted in her flipping over in the stalls seconds before the start.
Virage De Fortune was a $70,000 purchase at Magic Millions 2004 for Tim Hughes and James Bester on behalf of a syndicate including Sportingbet's Michael Sullivan and Bester himself.
The Anzac Day win was her second consecutive victory. Virage de Fortune beat Nova Star (Iglesia) with Taabinga Lass (Darbonne) a further long head away third.
On January 15, Virage De Fortune won over 1110 metres at Doomben. A similar story unfolded on that occasion as she again drew wide, hit the ground running from barrier eight in a field of nine and raced on the pace, sustaining her speed to win.
Virage De Fortune is a half-sister to stkes placed Glasnost (Red Ransom) out of the city-placed Virage (Kenmare), herself a daughter of champion mare Emancipation.

“Mares by Anabaa and mares in foal to Anabaa sold extremely well, with breeders aware that he is a sire whose pedigree has immediate appeal to international purchasers,” said Widden’s Antony Thompson.
