Photo courtesy: Bradley Photos

The Anthony Cummings trained filly Rose of Cimmaron delivered the goods today over the Kensington 1800m.

Ridden beautifully by Larry Cassidy the filly won easily by 2 lengths and she seems to be a quality stayer in the making.
The filly which is owned by stud owner Ian Smith will now be set for the AJC Oaks Group 1.

Rose of Cimmaron has a half sister entered in the 2008 Australian Easter Yearling Sale by crack stallion Rock of Gibraltar.

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.

ROSE OF CIMMARON LOOKS SMART

Rose of Cimmaron (Bite the Bullet-Gainesville) which was retained by Ian Smith continues to show promise with a fast finishing 2nd to Gai Waterhouse KISHKAT on the Kensington track. The 1550m was relished by the filly and her next start should see her go close to breaking her maiden city status. The filly looks to have a very bright future both on the track and in the breeding barn.
