Any Given Saturday 2YO too good at Morphettville
Saturday Affair showed rapid development to become the third southern hemisphere winner for Any Given Saturday when successful over 1300 metres at Morphettville on June 23.
The two-year-old filly stepped out for her third start in the Adelaide event. Saturday Affair settled back in the field but was blocked for a run halfway down the straight.
The juvenile accelerated strongly once clear to gather in the leaders with 50 metres to run before going on score a decisive success.
Bred by R & J Lehman, Dr J Knight, Ms I Lynch and M Nietz in South Australia, Saturday Fever is a daughter of the Stakes-placed mare Little Miss Quick. Little Miss Quick foaled a filly by Authorized in 2011 before Reset served the mare in the last breeding season.
Any Given Saturday was a Gr1 winner in the US. The stallion won the Gr1 Haskell Invitational, defeating outstanding racehorses Hard Spun and Curlin in record time.
Any Given Saturday has sired 28 individual winners. The stallion will stand at Northwood Park for $11,000 (including GST) during the 2012 breeding season.
