Appearing six months after connections went to €300,000 for her at the Arqana May Breeze-Up, Amo Racing's Domina Ignis (Pinatubo) looked well worth the wait as she sparkled on debut at Southwell on Friday.
Sent off the 7-2 second favourite for the six-furlong novice, the Kevin Philippart De Foy-trained bay from the family of Johnny Barnes travelled smoothly and once committed by David Egan two out quickly had the race in safe keeping.
At the line, there was a five-length margin back to the Doncaster maiden runner-up Angel Gabriel (Mehmas).
That's a lovely winning debut from Pinatubo filly Domina Ignis at @Southwell_Races for @kpfracing, @DavidEgan99 and @amoracingltd… pic.twitter.com/N6Wcq14m91

The dam, whose yearling colt Lisan Al Gaib (Zelzal) was a €65,000 purchase by Ludovic Gadbin at Arqana Deauville October, is a full-sister to the Listed scorer and multiple Group-placed Chartreuse. She is a granddaughter of Danehill's Mahalia, who captured the Prix Imprudence when it carried Listed status before producing Acclamation's aforementioned sire Johnny Barnes and the fellow Group 3 winner Albisola (Montjeu).
This is also the family of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Meditate (No Nay Never) and the sire half-siblings Ectot and Most Improved, with the latter like the dam by Lawman.
