South Africa, February 18 – Opening her account with a dazzling four length win at Scottsville in South Africa on Wednesday was two year-old Bernardini (USA) filly Almashooqa, a $330,000 Inglis Easter Shadwell purchase from the draft of Torryburn Stud.

Trained by Mike de Kock and ridden by Anthony Delpech, Almashooqa strode clear to win the 1200 metre maiden by four lengths in a dominant display.

A half-sister to stakes-winner Landing, Almashooqa was bred by Torryburn Stud and is the third winner for Group III winning Flying Spur mare Joy of Flight.

A stunning individual, she was the most expensive yearling by Darley shuttler Bernardini sold in Australia in 2014. 

Joy of Flight has a yearling colt by More Than Ready (USA), a filly foal by Street Cry (IRE) and was covered by So You Think last spring.

Torryburn Stud will present a quality draft of eight for the 2015 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale. Click here to see the draft.
