NZ trial winner on her way to Australia

The credentials of the 3yo Reliable Man filly out of the Falkirk mare, Prospect are ideal for a quality staying Oaks type.

Clearly possessed with good stamina, this filly has the racing characteristics, bloodlines and conformation to say that she’ll be best from 2000m upward. However, she also appears to have enough speed to be most competitive at 1600m. She carries her head low, has a very efficient stride, and runs through the line strongly.

In her second trial, she beat a horse who had already been placed in a premium 2yo race. They defeated the rest of the trial field by six lengths.

She is by Reliable Man, who has already sired 3 x Group 1 fillies, including Miami Bound. She is out of a very successful staying family. Prospect, her dam, is a half-sister to a champion three-year-old in Singapore named War Affair and is also the half-sister to the dam of Charles Road, a multiple Group Winner and runner-up in the Group 1 Auckland Cup.

Matt Williams will train her from his Warrnambool base. In recent years, OTI has enjoyed good success with Matt, with horses like Harbour Views, Darvin and the exciting Almsgiver.
