Australian Group 1 heroine Lasqueti Spirit (Aus) (Beneteau {Aus}–Supriym Story {Aus}, by General Nediym {Aus}) has been retired according to trainer Lee Curtis, Racenet.com reported on Friday. The freshly minted 5-year-old is best known for her shock 100-1 victory in the G1 Crown Oaks at Flemington in 2016, her lone win in 22 starts. Second in the G1 Chipping Norton S. and third in the G1 Australian Oaks both in 2017, the Queensland-bred earned $730,003.
Bred by the S J E Family Trust, the bay was purchased by Curtis for an ownership group for A$150,000 out of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in 2015. Lasqueti Spirit's winning dam is a half-sister to SW & GSP My Destiny (Aus) (Stratum {Aus}). Under the third dam is G1 Doomben Cup victor Mr Bureaucrat (Aus) (Bureaucracy {NZ}) and GSW & G1SP All Black Gold (Aus) (Canny Lad {Aus}).
