The Group III ATC Widden Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday attracted a strong line-up and while exciting filly Queen of the Ball won by more than three lengths, promising Russian Revolution filly Revolutionary Miss stamped herself as an autumn prospect with a terrific run for second.
Trained by Peter and Paul Snowden, Revolutionary Miss was a close and unlucky second on debut at Randwick on New Year’s Day when beaten a short neck by Fireburn.
Given a good run from barrier one by Brock Ryan on Saturday, she powered home along the inside to grab second place in the field of 10.
A $195,000 Magic Millions purchase for Triple Crown Syndications from the Sledmere Stud draft, Revolutionary Miss was bred by China Horse Club and is a half-sister to stakes-winner Equation from stakes-placed Onemorenomore mare Purcentage.
A yearling full brother to Revolutionary Miss was bought by Danny O’Brien Racing at Magic Millions this year for $250,000.
Russian Revolution is the leading Australian first season sire by earnings and has 30 entries for Inglis Classic including eight to be offered by Newgate.
