Astute Victorian bloodstock agent Sheamus Mills does know how to find a nice filly and his decision to purchase the most expensive filly by Al Maher sold in 2019 looks like a good one as she won by five lengths at Sandown on Wednesday.
Trained by Caroline Jennings, Arabian Hussey made it two wins from four starts when she opened up to win as she pleased in the 1400m Benchmark 64 event.
“She just blew them away today, she might be special,” said winning rider Arron Lynch.
“She was strong right through the line, there was still plenty underneath me.”
A $190,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Edinglassie Stud draft for owner James Kennedy and Sheamus Mills Bstock (FBAA), Arabian Hussey is a half-sister to stakes-winner Kobayashi and is the third winner from three foals to race from Woodstock Hussey.
Edinglassie will present the current yearling from Woodstock Hussey, a colt by Epaulette, at Magic Millions as Lot 955.
Arabian Hussey’s sire Al Maher is standing in Victoria these days at the Independent Stallions at a fee of $8,800.
An under-rated sire that can always get a good horse, Al Maher has left 35 stakes-winners including three Group I winners, so it will be no surprise if Arabian Hussey adds to that list.
