COUNTY TALE ON HER WAY TO MILLIONS

County Tale (Tale of the Cat - Day County) continues to improve. At debut on the 8th of February the 2yo filly ran 3rd at Eagle Farm for trainer Kelso Wood.

Then today the filly was unlucky in being beaten by a nose at Caloundra. Ridden by B Pengelly, the filly showed natural improvement from her debut and she should go close to winning at her next start.

The filly was purchased at the 2007 Magic Millions Yearling sales by astute bloodstock agent John Foote. John being the person who selected the great Silent Witness at the Inglis auction house.
