New winner for first-season sire Sepoy

Giroux speeds to victory at Ballarat, Australia

Sepoy filly Giroux became the latest winner for her first-season sire on 26 April when showing an impressive turn of foot to outclass her rivals over five and a half furlongs at Ballarat on 26 April.

Giroux was settled three-wide and travelled comfortably throughout under jockey Damian Lane, before racing away approaching the furlong marker to win by just over a length from Wearethechampions and Preemptive. 

Purchased for A$120,000 at the 2015 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Giroux is the first foal out of the four-time Listed winner Paprika

World Champion three-year-old sprinter Sepoy continued to set records off the track, becoming the first ever freshman sire to top the Magic Millions Yearling sale in 2015.

The first of Sepoy’s southern hemisphere progeny are beginning to show their class, headed by the likes of the G3-placed filly Chipanda plus Listed-placed winner She’s Positive.

Sepoy's first European runners are due to hit the track shortly.
