Super Seth’s Frosty Girl makes impression on debut
Patience paid off at Warwick Farm on Wednesday when the Chris Waller-trained Frosty Girl (ex Oh So Chilled) produced an eye-catching debut to land the 1300m maiden.
The three-year-old daughter of Super Seth was taken to the rear of the field by James McDonald before unleashing a sweeping run down the outside to score by just over a length and a half. She is raced by prominent Kiwi owner Glenn Ritchie, Frosty Girl had been given time to mature, trialling on six occasions before her raceday debut.
“It was a good win,” Waller said. “She is still learning as you can see. We intended to be a little bit closer to the pace, but she was a bit slow away.”
“James didn’t panic. He got her into a good rhythm and got her out to the right part of the track and finished off without any interruptions, so it was good.”
“Like most New Zealand-bred horses, if you look after them, they will look after you.”
“Super Seth from Waikato Stud is doing a fantastic job, so it’s good to see New Zealand with another really promising stallion on the way. We will have to pay a bit more for them, but we will be buying a lot more of them.”
Bred by Waikato Stud in partnership with Gary Wallace, Frosty Girl is out of the O’Reilly mare Oh So Chilled, a half-sister to Listed winner Savacool. She was purchased by Chris Waller Racing and Mulcaster Bloodstock for $150,000 from Waikato Stud’s 2023 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Book 1 draft.
With his oldest progeny now three-year-olds, Super Seth has sired three Group 1 winners and six individual stakes winners to date.
Frosty Girl becomes his 41st individual winner and adds to the growing list of exciting performers by the young Waikato Stud stallion.
