Deron Pearson's homebred listed heroine Mia Tesoro (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), who ran a career best second in the G2 Balanchine at Meydan on Valentine's Day, is set to head to the covering sheds trainer Charlie Fellowes announced. A winner of the Listed Nottinghamshire Oaks S. last summer, the 6-year-old is likely to be covered by Australia (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), winner of the G1 English and G1 Irish Derbies and G1Juddmonte International in 2014. Mia Tesoro's record currently stands at 27-5-4-3, $143,365.
“She's been amazing,” said her trainer Fellowes. “To think she came to the yard rated 57, and there she is running second in a Group 2 in Meydan, is remarkable. We went over to Dubai for that reason, to try to get some group placing. We achieved that–here's nothing out there for her now. As far as I know, the plan is to bring her home, and she's probably going to be covered by Australia at Coolmore–and then we'll see. She could come back into training for a couple of months, or that could have been her last race. We'll leave that up to the racing manager.”
Out of G3 Oh So Sharp S. heroine Souter's Sister (Ire) (Desert Style {Ire}), Mia Tesoro is from the same family as Group 2 winner Kahir Almaydan (Ire) (Distinctly North), who was third in the G1 Middle Park S.
