A dual Gr. I winning mare Srikandi, who was knocked down to Tom Magnier for A$2 million at the 2019 Inglis Chairman’s Sale, produced her first winner in March.
Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, 3YO Snitzel filly Heroes was a crowd favourite when resuming from a spell in the 1000m maiden at Gosford and saluted in style.
Fourth and third at her only previous outings last year, Heroes was ridden forward by James McDonald and forged clear at the finish to win by two lengths.
A A$400,000 Magic Millions purchase for Andrew Williams Bloodstock from the Kitchwin Hills draft, Heroes runs for Carl Holt and GPI Racing.
The second foal of Srikandi is 2YO I Am Invincible filly Billiondollarbaby, who made A$1million at Inglis Easter last year ad has shown plenty of promise.
Also trained by the Snowdens, she won two barrier trials last month so should be making a race day appearance sooner rather than later.
Srikandi has a yearling filly by American Pharoah (USA) that has been withdrawn from Inglis Easter and a colt to follow by Justify (USA), who covered the A$2.3 million earning daughter of Dubawi again last spring.
