Exciting Rubick filly Rubisaki is the latest star performer to emerge from Ian Smith’s Edinburgh Park and Sydney racegoers will see her in action on Saturday when she steps out in the $1million Inglis Sprint (1200m).
An $85,000 Inglis Classic Book 2 purchase for astute purchaser Joe O’Neill of Prime Thoroughbreds, Rubisaki was bred and sold by Ian Smith and has proven a natural runner with four wins and two seconds from six starts with prizemoney just shy of $270,000.
Rubisaki is the latest name to add to a long list of superior horses sold by Edinburgh Park that includes world champion sprinter Silent Witness, stakes-winners such as Bull Point, Amovatio, Sister Madly, Dances on Waves and this season’s two year-old stakes-winner Tanker, the first stakes-winner for first season sire Pride of Dubai.
Add to that list of past graduates current promising stakes horses such as War Memorial, Lady Naturaliste and progressive gelding Eleven Eleven, who has been stakes-placed at his last three starts behind boom three year-old Alligator Blood including a game second in the $2million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas.
Another promising current season juvenile is Glenfiddich, who was second last start in the Listed MRC Blue Diamond Preview and runs this Saturday in the Group III MRC Blue Diamond Prelude as does Tanker.
