The Anthony and Sam Freedman stable unveiled some of its newest additions at Wednesday’s Balnarring jumpouts, including Group One winning mare Kahma Lass (NZ) (Darci Brahma).

The New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m) winner Kahma Lass, who added the Listed Weekend Hussler Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield to her CV during the spring while still being trained by Jamie Richards, is being set for the Queensland Winter Carnival.

“She’s obviously owned by Cambridge Stud and came from Jamie Richards,” co-trainer Sam Freedman told Racing.com.

“She has spent a lot of time at our Flemington stable when Jamie would travel his horses.

“We’ve got a bit of background from Jamie and his staff on what she’s like.

“She had a bit of a look around here this morning and went nicely.

“The plan is to get her up to Queensland, ultimately you probably aim up at a race like the Tatts Tiarra (Gr.1, 1600m) but there are some nice mares races up there.”

Owned by the Lindsay family, the valuable daughter of Darci Brahma is expected to kick off in the coming weeks.

“We are yet to nail down where she will run but we are thinking potentially the Victoria Handicap (Gr.3, 1400m) in a couple of weeks,” Freedman said.

“In all likelihood this is her last preparation before being retired but we are just feeling our way with her.”
