  • Flirtini Embarks on Triple Feature Campaign

    Thursday, 14th January 2021

    Quality WA mare Flirtini has been set for a three-tiered feature sprint campaign by her trainer Simon Miller, with her embarkation point being Saturday’s Miss Andretti Stakes (1100m). The Listed sprint is the first race for Flirtini since finishing down the field in the Gr3 Scahill Stakes (1400m). That followed a fast-finishing fifth in the Gr1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) a week earlier. A winner of $500,000 in stakes, the daughter of Artie Schiller hasn’t won since scoring in November 2019’s Gr3 Colonel Reeves Stakes (1100m). Miller believes his mare has come back well after a short spell, telling thewest.com.au, “Flirtini has benefited from a let-up. She’s scheduled to race in the Miss Andretti, Scenic Blast Stakes and Cyril Flower Stakes.” Expected to bump into a collective of high-class sprinters during the course of her mapped out schedule, Miller is prepared to switch Flirtini away from handicaps to weight-for-age races should she rise too high in the weights.
