December 1, 2013Moonee Valley Success for Awasita
Highlighted as a Breednet ‘One to Watch’ when winning easily at her first run back from a spell at Ballarat earlier this month, Awasita handled the jump to metropolitan class with a dominant victory at Moonee Valley on Friday night.
The Mark Kavanagh trained daughter of Commands led throughout and dashed away to win the Benchmark 70 event over 1200 metres by more than two lengths.
Bred and offered for sale by Newhaven Park at Magic Millions, Awasita was snapped up for $80,000 and runs for a syndicate of Prime Thoroughbreds owners for whom she has won over $30,000 in winning two of three starts.
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.
