Etoile Filante Back in Style
25 March 2013
Pins filly Etoile Filante kept her unbeaten record intact when she returned from a break in top style at Pukekohe Park this last Wednesday. A winner on the course before Christmas and a subsequent let-up, she had warmed up her for resuming run with a trial outing.
Bred by WS with David Williams, who races the three-year-old, Etoile Filante is out of the stakes winning Zabeel mare Etoile du Nord (Listed Marton Cup). Her only offspring to Karaka realised $160,000 last year when Sydney trainer John O’Shea bought her O’Reilly colt from WS’s Premier Sale consignment.
Etoile Fialnte is prepared at Byerley Park by Peter and Dawn Williams and continued the couple’s recent run of success with WS graduates. They also prpeare the unbeaten O’Reilly-Glamour Puss filly for the Chittick family.
