Four for Circus Maximus

Windsor Park-based sire Circus Maximus (Galileo) chalked up his fourth individual winner when Sicilian Sand (2 f ex Rock Runner by Duke Of Marmalade) got off the mark in a 1900-metre seller in Rome on Tuesday. The two-year-old filly defeated Farsha (Kodi Bear) into second with Let’s Go Away (Free Eagle) finishing third. Purchased by Beechlane Stables for €8,000 at the Goffs Ireland February Sale in 2023, the filly was then snapped up by Scuderia Semeso for £16,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland Yearling Sale later that same year. The filly is out of unraced mare Rockrunner (Duke Of Marmalade), herself a half-sister Group 3 winner Glorious Dragon (Teofilo). Circus Maximus stands exclusively at Windsor Park for a fee of NZ$17,500 (plus GST).
