Lady Fires

Having been game after covering a fair bit of extra ground at her previous start at Moonee Valley, Spitfire Lady was a deserved and easy winner at Bendigo on Thursday.

Having her third run this time in, the lightly raced and promising filly proved a class above her rivals in the 1300m 0-62 event, racing away to a convincing 2¼ length victory.

In doing so Spitfire Lady recorded the second win of her seven start career and judging by the ease of her success there looks to be plenty more in store for her owners R & C Legh Racing Pty Ltd (manager Rupert Legh), Liberato Petagna, Grant Devonport and the ARK Syndicate.

A bargain $30,000 purchase at the Melbourne Premier Sale, Spitfire Lady - a daughter of Hussonet - is out of a mare we know well, Ballymore's Gr.3 Doomben Classic winner Galroof.

A mare who sadly passed away too young last year, Galroof - who was second in the Queensland Derby at her final outing before going amiss - has proven an outstanding broodmare.

Tough galloper Pinnacles (Group One placed winner of 11 races including the Listed Glasshouse Handicap) was her first foal, the stakes placed city winner Husonic her second and our Group Three Norman Robinson Stakes winner Sabrage her third.

Spitfire Lady came along next and we are thrilled to have her as she is Galroof's one and only daughter - her dam's final foal being an All American colt.
