Thursday, 17 December 2009: Snitzel filly Chance Bye may well make a lie of her $15,000 purchase price when she lines up in the inaugural $250,000 Inglis Nursery at Randwick this Saturday.
The Michael Tubman trained filly won a recent 800m trial at Kembla Grange by 12 lengths. While the opposition is unknown, she was able to clock a slick 46.39 for the trial, which was a full 2 seconds quicker than the 3yo Maiden trial on the same day.
A first crop daughter of Snitzel, Chance Bye was secured by Tubman from the Glenlee draft at this year's Inglis Classic Sale.
Despite the cheap purchase price, Chance Bye is from quite a strong female pedigree.
She is a very close relation to Snippets' Listed Breeders' Plate winner High Rolling, being from that galloper's Red Ransom half-sister Rouge Femme.
Another half-sister to Rouge Femme is Aspirant, who produced last season's slick juvenile High Roll'n Woman and stakes placed Geiger Spirit.
Chance Bye's third dam Warfever was a G1 winner in the US and it is also the family of G1 Canterbury Guineas winner Jymcarew.
Redoute's Choice stallion Snitzel is already the sire of dual Sydney winner Intertidal this season.
The Inglis Nursery is a new race added to the calendar, restricted to horses sold through Inglis Yearling Sales that are nominated for the $2.6million Inglis Race Series.
