At Rosehill on Saturday,
Arena's daughter, My Lady's Chamber stamped
herself as a potential Golden Slipper contender with her win in
the Special K Handicap (1200m).
Trained at Warwick Farm by the very popular Bill Prain, My
Lady's Chamber was not on her best behaviour behind the
barriers and came close to being withdrawn but the attendants
persevered and she repaid their patience.
Prain said My Lady's Chamber had never played up as she had on
Saturday and undertook to put her through more barrier education
in preparation for next start in either the Reisling Stakes or the
Magic Night Stakes.
Race favourite Spiel led but gave in quickly in the straight as
Tim Clark steered My Lady's Chamber (ex Queen's
Suite by Marauding) through a gap. Once in the clear she strode
to the line 1-1/4 lengths ahead of Crown Addiction
(Dangerous - Lyrical Dancer by Steel Blade). Golden
Thunderbird (Umatilla - Land of Dreams by Kenvain) held on for
third another short neck away.
My Lady's Chamber is a
close relation to Regal Chamber who ran third in the 1997 Golden
Slipper won by Guineas and she is raced by Lomar Park Stud's Fred
Peisah who stands her sire.
