Matchem Racing targeted another potential star when Cambridge Lady sold for $70,000 at the 2015 Gold Coast Magic Millions.

A Mossman filly with the x-factor, she will be groomed for better races following a soft win on debut in the Ivan’s Pies Plate (1000m) at Cranbourne on Thursday.  “Super-impressive, tested winner,” Matchem spokesman Suman Hedge tweeted.  “Gun trainer, gun rating, gun result!”

Matchem Racing struck gold first-up at the 2014 Inglis Melbourne Premier with G2 Blue Diamond Prelude winner Fontiton.  Its selection process includes heart-scores, DNA tests and the experienced eye of a Group 1 trainer like Mick Price.

Cambridge Lady (2f Mossman – Cambridge by Redoute’s Choice) is prepared by Price for long-time clients Rob and June Harding.  “She was off the bridle and struggling to stay in touch early on,” stable apprentice Michael Dee said.  “I felt her pick-up when I angled into clear running and she really attacked the line.

“She got through the Heavy 8 and the boss will probably step her up to 1200m.”

Mossman was Australia’s Champion 2YO Sire in 2013-14 and he’s finishing off another very successful season in the juvenile division with three stakes winners – Crack Me Up (LR Dalrello Stakes), Morvada (LR Oaklands Plate) & Cellarman (LR Wintergarden Stakes).

That’s only been bettered by Hinchinbrook in 2015-16.

His next 2yo debutante is Mosstiara in Race 3 at Kembla Grange on Saturday.  She’s a homebred for Perth owners Lex and Shirley Piper and is a half-sister to their speed-machine Kencella.

Vinery stands Mossman for a $16,500 (inc gst) service fee.
