My Poppette deserves a break after her game performance in winning the Phillip Schuler ANZAC Day Stakes at Flemington.

She has earned Black Type at her third start which was won with a lot authority; the future is looking promising for her.

Cindy Alderson, who shares the training licence with her father Colin, is now looking towards the better races in the spring for the filly, bred by her mother, Lyn, she is also a part owner.

There are a number of good fillies races in the spring, ultimately she will be heading towards   the Thousand Guineas, that would be the logical option, then possibly the Oaks would be given some consideration.

On face value her pedigree could be questioned, being by Snippetson, from a daughter of Choisir, however, pedigrees have been known to slip up, nothing is set in concrete.

My Poppette got the 1400 metres on her ear at Flemington, while 1600 metres at Caulfield should not be a hindrance.

With three months of the racing season remaining, surely it’s about time the city racing clubs commenced to stretch out the distance of two year old races.

At present all that is being done is catering for squibs, one run and you never see them again.
