Resolute Racing Represented By First Australian Winner

John and Chelsey Stewart's Resolute Racing was represented by its first winner in Australia on Nov. 14 when the beautifully bred 3-year-old filly Ernaux (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) took out a maiden handicap contest at Canterbury Park in Sydney over 1100 meters.

Beaten for speed and settled inside near the back of a seven-strong field beneath Kerrin McEvoy, Ernaux was ridden for luck with $2.20 (6-5) favorite Pyrolysis (Aus) (Zoustar {Aus}) to catch turning into the straight. Continuing to find at the fence, she was steered away from the inside and was shoved across the line narrowly best to strike at odds of 6-1.

Bred in New South Wales by Katom and offered through the Coolmore draft at the 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, the daughter of G1 Oakleigh Plate heroine Booker (Aus) (Written Tycoon {Aus}) was knocked down to Resolute for A$3 million ($1,971,134), second only to the A$10 million for the Pierro (Aus) filly out of Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Aus}). All totaled, Resolute purchased six horses for A$5.44 million at the 2024 Easter Sale.

Trained by Chris Waller for a partnership that also includes Coolmore, Westerberg and J Poulin, Ernaux had placed in three of her previous six appearances, including a runner-up effort in the soft at Newcastle in New South Wales on Nov. 1.
