One to Watch – Geelong

Tara Madgwick - Thursday June 5
Stratum can certainly get a good filly as we've seen with Streama and Crystal Lily, so when he had a stylish debut winner at Geelong on Thursday she was an obvious contender for our One to Watch.

Prepared by Sam Pritchard-Gordon, Madam Delponte was friendless in the betting ring, but looked a class act in crossing swiftly from a wide gate to lead before forging clear to win by a three-parts of a length when still clearly under done.

Madam Delponte as a yearlingNatural ability is obviously not lacking and with the improvement from this run Madam Delponte will be worth following to town.

A $190,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Kulani Park draft for Pritchard-Gordon Racing and Badgers Bloodstock, Madam Delponte was a successful pinhook having been bought as a weanling at Magic Millions for $140,000.

Raced by a large group of owners including Kulani Park's Chloe Smith, Madam Delponte is the foal for Madam Prosecutor, a half-sister by Choisir to Group III winner A Country Girl from the family of Group I winner Mr Innocent.

Madam Delponte might write the next chapter of success for Rhys and Chloe Smith of Kulani Park, who have been in the news of late after selling a stellar draft of mares at Magic Millions featuring the dams of multiple Group I winners Zoustar and Appearance who sold for $775,000 and $750,000 respectively.

On-sold by Reavill Farm in 2012 for $90,000, Madam Prosecutor is being given every chance to succeed at stud and has a yearling full brother to Madam Delponte, a weanling filly by So You Think and was covered last spring by Sepoy.
