"A beautiful filly with a great mindset" - Will Clarken
Our team first came across the Smart Missile x Chloe’s Comet in a paddock, 6 months before she ever went through a sale ring and that is where this story starts. Raised on one of the premier farms in Australia, Mill Park Stud, responsible for breeding the likes of Mummify, Divine Madonna, Fawkner, Princess Coup, Warning, Happy Trails, Booker etc, this filly presents a great opportunity to race a quality sort, with one of Australia’s rising training stars, Will Clarken.
Smart Missile is from one of the great stallion-making families of the modern thoroughbred: the Rough Shod clan of Sadler’s Wells, Fairy King and Nureyev. Smart Missile is the sire of 22 stakes winners, most notably Group 1 winner Maid of Heaven, he is known to have a filly’s bias, which helped give us the extra push to buy her. Physically she is balanced, athletic, forward looking and just cut in the mould of a ready made racehorse.
Out of a Northern Meteor mare, who as a broodmare sire has already recorded five stakes’ performers led by Listed winners Najmaty and Absolute Flirt, from only small sample size, we’re excited about the combination of physique and pedigree with trainer Will Clarken already excited by her potential, having described her to have a “great mindset and beautiful filly” and we can’t wait to see her to continue to develop.
