Latest foal from former high-priced National Sale mare set for debut.
Peter and Paul Snowden have picked an appropriate time to unveil high-priced filly I Found You, who will make her debut in Wednesday's All Too Hard @ Vinery 2YO Handicap at Canterbury.
By I Am Invincible, I Found You is out of the star producer Listen Here, who was once the highest-priced horse ever sold at Magic Millions.
The daughter of Elusive Quality sold for $3.4 million at the 2016 National Broodmare Sale, the 2024 version of which is being held this week on the Gold Coast.
Listen Here's first two foals were Deep Field, a one-time boom sprinter who became a successful sire, and 2014 Caulfield Guineas winner Shooting To Win.
She has had five foals to the track since, all of whom are winners, including Zaniah, a daughter of Zoustar who won at Listed level, was runner-up in a Group 2 Moreton Cup and twice placed at Group 3 level.
A $1.3 million purchase at last year's Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, I Found You will carry the China Horse Club colours in the 1100-metre event at Canterbury.
The bay filly finished second in a 900m Rosehill trial on April 23 before defeating Group 1 Champagne Stakes winner Broadsiding in a 1045m workout at Randwick on May 16.
I Found You has the services of Tyler Schiller on debut and drew barrier 10 in the field of 12 plus three emergencies.
She is not the only $1.3m Inglis Easter purchase set to debut at Canterbury with Chris Waller to pull the covers off Zoustar colt Indigo Star.
Out of the Beneteau mare Lady Jivago, Indigo Star is a brother to four-time winner Zamborghini, who was a $1.25m buy at the 2021 Easter Sale.
Indigo Star has drawn barrier one in the $100,000 The Agency Real Estate Maiden Handicap (1250m) with Kerrin Mcevoy to ride in what will be his first ride since his fall at Rosehill on Golden Slipper Day.
