Yeomanstown Stud resident Supremacy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire} became Europe's latest first-crop sire to get off the mark when his Rod Millman-trained debutante Anthelia (Ire) broke through going a shade over five furlongs in Friday's Happy Birthday Lynn Cullimore British EBF Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes at Bath.
Squeezed for room at the break and racing off the tempo in seventh through the early fractions, the 18-1 chance made rapid headway into contention once past halfway and swooped late to easily outpoint Canyouhearthedrums (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}) by an ultimately comfortable 2 1/2 lengths.
Anthelia is the latest of seven reported foals and second scorer produced by Listed Rose Bowl Stakes third All On Red (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}), herself a half-sister to the stakes-placed Applecross (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}). The January-foaled bay, whose third dam is Listed Sweet Solera Stakes and Listed Rose Bowl Stakes third Halloa (GB) (Wolfhound), hails from the family of GI Secretariat Stakes and G1 Cox Plate-winning sire Adelaide (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
Anthelia with an impressive run to win the Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes at Bath to get off the mark!
