The Huntress Impresses Boss
Glen Boss was singing the praises of The Huntress after what was an impressive win in the Catanach’s Jewellers Stakes at Caulfield.
Coming off a win at Sandown two weeks ago she has continued to improve, shown by her effort at The Heath.
She will remain in work, at least for a few more weeks, as her next assignment is the $100,000 Inglis bonus race in a couple of weeks at Scone.
Whether she will measure up to spring form and get a mile is an unknown quantity, as both of her only wins have been at 1200 metres.
The win appeared to be pretty soft, on Saturday she settled well off the pace and was running strongly, giving the impression she will get further.
She is by the Patinack sire Husson, he was acclaimed champion two year old in the Argentine winning at his only five starts, plus creating a track record for 1400 metres of 1m 18.98 secs, which compares favourably with Australian times over that distance.
It may be interesting to see who will be offered the ride on the filly at Scone, Brad Rawiller gave up the ride preferring to go to Adelaide on Saturday.
Boss has quite an opinion of the filly, describing as her oozing in ability.
