November 14, 2013Awasita Wins Well
One to Watch – Ballarat
Commands has really kicked on with his fillies in the past two years and produced an impressive maiden winner at Ballarat on Wednesday.
The Mark Kavanagh trained Awasita was resuming from a spell following a fifth place on debut back in April and showed the benefit of a good break in bolting clear to win the 1100 metre maiden by four and half lengths.
Bred and offered for sale by Newhaven Park at Magic Millions, Awasita (pictured as a yearling) was snapped up for $80,000 and runs for a syndicate of Prime Thoroughbreds owners.
Awasita is the third winner from three foals to race for Aemilee, a metropolitan winning half-sister by Grand Lodge (USA) to Group II winner Magic Albert.
Aemilee has a yearling filly by Domesday and was covered again last spring by Commands.
