Classy Caulfield Winner Sold by Three Bridges

A competitive fillies event at Caulfield on Saturday was won in good style by talented Choisir filly Japhils, a $105,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the draft of Three Bridges Thoroughbreds.

Running in the colours of well-known owner Phil Sly and trained by John Sadler, Japhils was a stakes-winner in Adelaide back in April so had class on her side for this assignment and raced accordingly.

She showed her usual pace to lead and fought on strongly to win the 1200 metre dash by half a length.

It was her third win from 10 starts with prizemoney topping $146,000, so she looks to have a bright future.

Japhils was a successful pinhook having been purchased by Paul Willetts at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale for $50,000 from the Southern Cross Breeders draft before being re-offered by Three Bridges Thoroughbreds at Inglis Premier.

Japhils is one of three winners for Livonia (GB), a half-sister to stakes-winner Millstreet from the family of Group I winning fillies Give Thanks and Harayir.
