A POWERFUL FILLY WHO IS BUILT TO RUN.
HER FULL SISTER WAS A 5 TIME WINNER AND THIS GIRL IS A BETTER TYPE!
BRED ON THE SAME CROSS AS MULTIPLE GR.1 STAR LADY SHENANDOAH.
This is a quality 2yo filly by SHOWTIME, the dual Group-winning son of champion sire SNITZEL. A
Group performer at two and Group 2 winner at three, SHOWTIME combined speed, toughness and
consistency.
A correct, compact and athletic filly, she possesses a deep girth, powerful hindquarter and an
energetic, purposeful walk. She has all the physical attributes of an early-running filly, with the
strength and scope to continue improving with time.
She is out of the three-time-winning STAR WITNESS mare SOL WITNESS, whose first runner (full
sister to ours) won five races and the only other one to race was also a winner.
With proven speed on both sides of her pedigree, a family that consistently produces winners and
the physique to match, she represents an exciting opportunity for anyone seeking a ready made
racehorse.
Sire
SHOWTIME
The dual Group-winning son of champion sire SNITZEL, until recently stood at the world-renowned Arrowfield Studin the Hunter Valley. He has since been acquired by Asian interests to stand in Indonesia.
A Group performer at two and Group 2 winner at three, he has made an exciting start to his stud career with multiple stakes performers and winners in Australia and Hong Kong.
His progeny are generally athletic, forward-going racehorses with the speed and toughness that made their sire such a high-class performer.
Dam
SOL WITNESS
She is out of the three-time-winning STAR WITNESS mare Sol Witness, whose first runner (full sister
to ours) won five races and the only other one to race Sol Filia was also a winner.
The family is packed with black type, descending from the outstanding producer Welsh Garden,
whose descendants include Group and Stakes winners across Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong,
South Africa and Europe.
Trainer
CIARON MAHER
At the forefront of Australian thoroughbred racing stands Ciaron Maher, one of the sport’s most accomplished and progressive trainers. As principal of Ciaron Maher Racing, he leads one of the nation’s largest and most versatile operations, renowned for success with both precocious juveniles and elite stayers. Raised on a dairy farm in country Victoria and shaped by an early career as a jumps jockey, Maher developed a deep, practical understanding of horses that underpins his holistic, horse-first training philosophy.
After gaining his trainer’s licence in the early 2000s, Maher quickly earned attention from his Warrnambool base for his ability to rejuvenate older horses and develop young talent. Early standouts such as Sertorius and Set Square paved the way for his breakthrough Group 1 success with Jameka in the 2016 Caulfield Cup. Known for blending traditional horsemanship with innovative methods like swimming, beach work, and recovery-focused conditioning, Maher established a reputation as a trainer unafraid to challenge convention.
From 2018 to 2023, his partnership with David Eustace formed a dominant force in Australian racing, producing stars including Coolangatta, Hitotsu, and Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip. Following Eustace’s departure, Maher expanded into a national, multi-state operation with training centres across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. With a résumé featuring wins in the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, Blue Diamond, and Golden Slipper, Maher is widely admired for his adaptability, leadership, and belief in tailoring every preparation to the individual horse—embodying the modern evolution of Australian racehorse training.
