Petits Filous at brilliant best
Petits Filous kept her winning streak intact, with another dazzling performance in winning the Group 3 Quezette Stakes at Caulfield.
She is not only winning, it is the manner in which she is winning, her time was one point five seconds better than the colts and geldings recorded in the Vain Stakes, over the same distance.
That is a replica of her three wins; she has run faster time over the same distance on the corresponding programs.
It was an exciting win on the back of Bashboy’s Grand National Steeplechase success at Ballarat for Ciaron Maher.

Ciaron Maher, trainer of the boom filly, while excited with her brilliant win, is keeping his feet on the ground; he is playing it cool for the present.
There will be no quick decisions regarding her next start, he will let the dust settle and be guided by the advice of Damien Oliver, whether the filly is kept for sprint distances.
Maher showed some concern when the filly bounced out of the gates so quickly, however, she soon set her own pace and was travelling well within herself.
Adelaide filly, Miss Gunpowder, who had won at her two starts, gave her supporters a good sight, but was no match for the winner, she is capable of winning a race here at the right distance, and if Petits Filous stays at home in the stable.
