Freshman Sire Minzaal Makes a Breakthrough at Windsor

Derrinstown Stud resident Minzaal (Mehmas) became the latest freshman sire off the mark when his Clive Cox-trained son Satellite Of Love made a winning debut in Division 2 of Saturday evening's Bodhi Solutions Exceeding Expectations In Construction EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes at Windsor.

The £45,000 Goffs UK Premier yearling went postward as a 13-2 chance for the six-furlong contest and registered a 1 3/4-length verdict at the Berkshire venue.

Breaking swiftly to race under a firm hold on the front end through the early fractions, he came under pressure approaching the quarter-mile marker and was driven out inside the final furlong to defeat True Charm (Ardad) in ultimately comfortable fashion.

Satellite Of Love, half to a yearling filly by Ardad, is the fifth of six foals and third scorer out of a winning full-sister to G3 Firth Of Clyde runner-up Rosebride (Mayson), herself the dam of the stakes-placed Significantly (Garswood).

The winner's dam Maybride (Mayson) is also kin to the multiple stakes-placed duo Party Doctor (Dr Fong) and Dream Wedding (Medicean) and to the dam of G3 Prix Miesque victrix Half Sovereign (Ten Sovereigns).
