Hinchinbrook Filly Wins Maribyrnong Trial

Tara Madgwick - Saturday October 5
The first two year-old winner in Australia this season when scoring at Flemington last month, the Grahame Begg trained Hinchinbrook filly Mildred kept the good form coming when beating the colts to win the Listed VRC Maribyrnong Trial at Flemington on Saturday.




Mildred showed the benefit of race experience when she led all the way for Jordan Childs to score a length and a half win in the 1000 metre scamper over Godolphin's Exceed and Excel colt Jerle.

"When she jumped and went straight to the front I was always confident."

A $45,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Neville Begg from the Middlebrook Valley Lodge draft, Mildred is eligible for the lucrative Inglis Banner race on Cox Plate day, so will no doubt be looking towards that target.

Mildred has already won over $133,000 in prizemoney and is the fourth winner from stakes-winner Tempest Tost, a half-sister by Statue of Liberty (USA) to Group I winner Notoire and stakes-winner Well Known.

Tempest Tost is currently in foal to Aquis Farm's young gun Invader.

She is the 20th stakes-winner for Yarraman Park's ill-fated sire Hinchinbrook, who died in 2018. His final crop of yearlings will be offered at the 2020 sales.
