Connections of high-class two-year-old Ulanova (NZ) (Santos) will look forward to next season, with news that the Stephen Marsh-trained Group Three winner has gone for a break.

Runner-up in last Saturday’s Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m) behind Tokyo Tycoon (NZ) (Satono Aladdin), the daughter of Santos has won two of her six starts at two, including the Gr.3 Taranaki 2YO Classic (1200m).

Ulanova was bred by Ancroft Stud and sold through Kilgravin Lodge’s draft at New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sales to expatriate New Zealand agent Michael Wallace for $150,000.

Wallace’s Lexington-based Telluride Agency races the filly with his brother David and American client Kuldeep Singh Rajput’s Gandharvi Racing.

“She showed up every start as a two-year-old for her trainer,” Michael Wallace said. “Onwards and upwards towards the spring sprints.”
