Champion Thoroughbreds | Champion Thoroughbreds News 63648 Voltage Lass Provides Electric Performance On Debut

Too Darn Hot filly Voltage Lass stamped herself as a talent on the rise with a sharp debut victory at the Sapphire Coast on Monday. The three-year-old, prepared by in-form conditioner Danielle Seib, arrived for the 1000m assignment off two tidy jump outs and looked every inch a professional in her race-day introduction.

Ridden by the state’s premiership-leading jockey Pierre Boudvillain, Voltage Lass jumped on terms and landed in a stalking position behind a genuine early speed. Angling off the heels of Reveillion on the home bend, she was forced to pick herself up again at the 200m when Dawn On Me shifted out abruptly, hampering her momentum. But the filly responded with purpose, lengthening late to score by a decisive length.

“She was very professional today and she’ll only improve off that,” Seib said post-race. “There’s plenty of upside for her owners, so it’s exciting.”

A $50,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Coolmore draft, Voltage Lass is out of the speedy Hinchinbrook mare Countercurrent, herself a two-time winner and already the dam of two winners from as many runners. She is by Darley’s headline stallion Too Darn Hot, who commanded a $275,000 service fee this season.

The win continues a hot run for Seib, who is operating at an impressive 31.2% strike-rate in country races and sits fifth on the premiership ladder.
