Do we think she is a dead set miler?

No.
She's crying out for 2000m now.
I think she can win good races at a mile if kept fresh.

Any love for Steinem today in The Coast 1600m at Gosford today?
Was good 1st up over 1200m in the Birthday Card Quality and a forgive run in the Heavy 20 conditions in the Queen of the Turf over 1600m.
Probably prefer her over a tad longer trip but I think she is worth an each way bet today at double figure odds.

By far the worst run of her career to date today, running last of 14 in the Lets Elope Stakes. Sure 1400m is well short of her preferred trip but concerning that she didn’t let down at all in the straight. Hope nothing amiss with her, as before today I had been thinking her 5yo spring would be a good campaign ahead.

She was very agitated pre-race, which is unlike her.

Off to stud on that Foxseal?
Some form out of her last win, four starts ago:
Quantum Mechanic (2nd) : unplaced in four subsequent starts. Perfect World (3rd) : two starts for last at Bendigo and 2nd-last in a benchmark 70.

No way! Not unless there’s something physically amiss with her.
But let’s se the wash up from today’s effort. Fingers crossed ok. Would really like to see her tested at 2000m+ distance range.

Race
7
FURPHY LETS ELOPE STAKES - 1400
metres:
Elusive
Express
- Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was passed suitable to race.
Rich
Hips
Late scratching at 3.48pm on veterinary advice after the mare became
fractious in the saddling stalls. Rich Hips sustained a serious injury in that
incident. Rich Hips was attended to by the RV Veterinary Surgeon and was
humanely euthanized as a result of her injury. This
incident will be referred to the Veterinary Services Department.
Steinem Fractious in the
barrier. Underwent a veterinary examination and was passed suitable to race. Co-trainer
David Eustace was notified a warning has been placed on the mares record.
Daisies Slow to begin.
Cuban
Link
Raced three wide without cover.
Fortunate
Kiss
Held up for clear running from the 500 metres until shifting out to obtain
clear running approaching the 150 metres. When questioned, rider Harry Coffey
explained that he elected to position his mount shortly after straightening to
gain running between I Am Bene and Cuban Link as a run was presenting at this
stage, however then closed due to Cuban Link shifting in and I Am Bene
beginning to weaken. H Coffey added he expected I Am Bene to take him into the
race, however, the mare failed to do so.
Yearning Held up for clear
running passing the 600 metres before then shifting out passing the 350 metres
to find clear running.
I
Am Bene
Disappointing. Rider Ben Melham could offer no explanation for the
performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery.

Frankel mare out to 2000m of the Matriarch Stakes for the first time since her 3yo days.
Each way at 20/1 I’ll have another nibble at her today.

Having her next start in the Northerly Stakes (old Kingston Town) over 1800m on Dec 3rd.
That should be a good platform for the Van Heemst Stakes over 2100m & the Perth Cup at 2400m.

Serlik (Steinem brother) set for new home in Iran
Half-million-dollar yearling Serlik failed to make
the racetrack for Michelle Payne but the expensive purchase may still
positively influence her growing stable. Serlik made headlines
when bought as a yearling by Sardar Azmoun, an Iranian footballer who
contacted Payne after watching the film Ride Like A Girl, which depicted
her journey to Melbourne Cup success aboard Prince Of Penzance in 2015. The
Frankel colt won an 800-metre Cranbourne barrier trial in March 2021
but required a wind operation and experienced a series of niggling
issues which ultimately saw Payne end his racing career and start
another chapter. "He's currently standing at stud at my farm," Payne quipped. Azmoun
owns more than 50 horses across Iran and Australia and Serlik will soon
be exported to Iran and reside on Azmoun's stud farm. "He has
built beautiful stables in Iran, has really good systems over there for
his breeding and is really into it. He's excited to get him over there,"
Payne said. The younger brother of Ciaron Maher and David
Eustace's Group-winning mare Steinem, Serlik has served one retired
broodmare on Payne's property and could possibly be mated with a second
mare before relocating to Asia. "I'm excited to be left with
hopefully one, or possibly two, of his progeny. He has actually got a
good genetic match up with the mare of mine he served," Payne said. "It
was so funny because I have somebody who does the match-ups for me and
they said he was a really good match-up so who knows!" Payne has
20 horses at her Ballarat property, having had that number reduced when
her highest-rated horse, Pondus, sustained fatal injuries in a
1300-metre Ararat jumpout on November 7. While the vacancy left by
Pondus will be difficult to immediately fill, Payne has multiple horses
- including Oubitsa and Arabica - who will be given their chance to
progress through the grades over the summer. "Arabica hasn't shown
us a lot in her trials but I really think she has something to offer,"
Payne said of her imported German mare who was sired by
Starspangledbanner. "I'm hopeful that with another trial under her belt then we'll be able to get her to the races and see what she can do. "Oubitsa
is an unraced three-year-old colt that is about a month away. We also
have a nice horse trialling this week called Lonrik, he's by Lonhro and
his half-sister (Matron Bullwinkel) won during Melbourne Cup Week." Azmoun was named in Iran's 2022 World Cup squad on Sunday, but his selection was the subject of controversy. While
the 27-year-old is among the country's highest-profile footballers, he
disobeyed instructions from Iran's football federation which discouraged
athletes from speaking out over the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in
police custody in September.

Well I was on my girl each way today, so very happy she clung into 3rd over Cascadian.
G1 placing is going to look really good on her pedigree page later in life as a brood mare.
Confess I just thought this was going to be a lead up run for the Van Heemst Stakes and the Perth Cup. Now realised she’s not even entered for the Perth Cup. Hopefully she sticks around in Perth for the Van Heemst anyway. Perfect chance for her to get another black type win.

She tried hard but that local gelding just fought too hard for her in the straight.
Anyway she’s had a super campaign 5 starts for 3 placings (1 x G1 and 2 x G2).
Hopefully a well earned break and see her back sometime in 2023.

They’ve found that she’s got some breathing issues that has been holding her back this spring. So she’s now been retired and will be sold as a Broodmare in the Chairman’s sale.

Have had a bit of success of her over the years. She’s had a pretty good career, so look forward to her progeny coming though in a few years time.
With her pedigree & race track performance, I’m sure she’ll fetch a pretty penny at auction. Aren’t Yulong just buying up every well performed race mare that comes on the market

Golly gosh you are a hard marker SC - the dam is a winning Dansili mare who has a Group winner with her only foal to race. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th dams are all SW with great produce records. They thought enough of the dam to export her back to UK to mate with Frankel again, and she has been imported back here in foal to him.
