Multiple stakes winner Miss Federer (NZ) (Swiss Ace) has been named the 2019-20 New Zealand Bloodstock Southern Filly of The Year.
The daughter of Swiss Ace was purchased out of Bradbury Park’s New Zealand Bloodstock Book 2 Yearling Sale draft by trainer Andrew Carston for $10,000.
The three-year-old filly recorded victories in the first two legs of the Souther Filly of The Year Series – the Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Canterbury Belle Stakes (1200m) and the Listed NZB Airfreifght Stakes (1400m).
The remaining two legs of the Series, the Listed NZB Insurance Stakes (1600m) and Listed New Zealand Bloodstock Warstep Stakes (2000m), will be unable to be scheduled before the end of the season as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Miss Federer finished the series with a perfect score of 14 points while All About Magic was runner-up in both legs and earned 8 points, and Trifolium and Woodcote Lass collected two points each with their third placings.
In addition to receiving a trophy at the South Island Racing Awards, the 2019-20 Southern Filly of the Year winner will also receive an insurance policy from NZB Insurance to the value of $50,000 + GST.
