Astern Sires First Black-Type Winner in Australia
Seradess won the Cinderella Stakes March 8 at Morphettville by five lengths.
Darley's freshman sire Astern who initially entered stud in Australia sired his first black-type winner March 8 when his daughter Seradess won the TAB Cinderella Stakes at Morphettville.
The filly trailed in last place with 300 meters to go in the 1,050-meter (just over five furlongs) race when she kicked into high gear and won by five lengths. Seradess was bred by The Quality Thoroughbred Breeding Joint Venture and sold as a yearling for US$32,932 to trainer Mark Kavanagh by Mill Park Stud at the 2020 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale. She is trained by Kavanagh and owned by a partnership group with 15 members.
