Tutta La Vita US Debut Declared a No Race

Tara Madgwick - Sunday December 29

The highly anticipated North American debut for expensive Australian bred filly Tutta La Vita did not go as planned in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Connections will have to wait for another day for Tutta La Vita to break the ice in the US.

The Group I placed daughter of The Autumn Sun was bought by US investor John Stewart of Resolute Racing for $3.2million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale this year and was subsequently exported to the US.

Now trained by Ignacio Correas, Tutta La Vita was entered for an optional claiming race for fillies and mares over a mile on the turf at Gulfstream and finished second to Steel Lute, but the race was declared a no race shortly after.
