At Te Rapa, three-year-old filly Kahma Lass followed up her last start maiden win with a Group Three placing, finishing second to De La Terre in the Waikato Stud Soliloquy Stakes (1400m).
The Brendan and Jo Lindsay owned and Te Akau Racing-trained filly holds a nomination for the Gr.1 Barneswood Farm 48th New Zealand 1000 Guineas at Riccarton Park on November 14 and she looks to be an exciting prospect for the future.
Bred by Greg Tomlinson’s Nearco Stud, Kahma Lass is by Darci Brahma out of the stakes performed Orientate mare Distinctive Lass, making her a full sibling to stakes winner Distinctive Darci and a half-sibling to multiple stakes winner Kuro (Denman).
