Photo: Bradley Photos Emerging filly Perfumist has extended her picket-fence form-line when leading throughout to score a decisive victory at Rosehill on Saturday and flagging her credentials for a lucrative target in New Zealand. Ridden by Tyler Schiller, the daughter of El Roca made it four wins in succession, having stepped from a Mudgee Class 1 winner to a three-time city victor for in-form trainer Bjorn Baker and OTI Racing. “She has done a marvellous job. Four in a row. We liked her, we actually bought her at the Ready To Run Sale in New Zealand a year and a bit ago, so she has taken work and she is just starting to put it together now,” Baker said. “I thought she probably defied the pattern today, she was very good. Her work on Tuesday was outstanding, so off that alone, I had to give her a big chance but I was just a bit worried where we did end up. “Tyler took the race by the scruff of the neck and rode her like the best horse. “She has got a sprint and she definitely showed that at the top of the straight today. She was able to run into the wind and then kick off it. “It is very exciting and the fact she is New Zealand bred, there is actually a slot race over there, the NZB Kiwi (1500m) a new slot race worth $3.5 million. “Even in New Zealand dollars it is pretty good money. It could be interesting. It might be an option. Either way, she is definitely heading towards black-type.” Winning rider Tyler Schiller said the filly had surprised him with her progression from the country and believes she will be suited up to 1800m. “I think she is going to be better up in trip,” he said. “She is still over-racing a bit but I was very happy with the way when she got there, she relaxed, probably from the 800m to the 400m when I needed her to. “I think when she goes further she is going to be better but she has definitely stayed on strong today. “I feel like she keeps getting better every time.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
