  • Argentia Likely For Atlantic Jewel Stakes

    Thursday, 2nd September 2021

    Meanwhile, trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman have yet to decide if unbeaten 3YO filly Argentia (Frankel-Princess Coup, by Encosta de Lago) will run in Saturday's Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes, reports racing.com. "Argentia will more than likely be taking her chance," said Sam Freedman. "We've made it pretty clear she is better on top of the ground and all the work and trials we've seen on soft and heavy ground, it's just dulled her turn of foot a little bit, so that's a little query with her resuming on soft or heavy going." Damien Oliver is booked for Argentia, while the stable has Brett Prebble booked for stablemate Zouzarella (Zoustar-Zazparella, by Al Maher) if she runs in the same race. "Zouzarella, we're still not one hundred percent sure what to do with her," said Freedman. "We would like to get the three runs into her to get to the Thousand Guineas, but whether she's looking for the 1400 metres now or we wait a week and run against the boys in a race like the Exford we will just wait and see." Like Argentia, Zouzarella has won her only start to date. She was a $250,000 yearling graduate of the Glastonbury Farms draft at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
