BARBARA Keller has something of a Midas touch when it comes to owning fillies who have gone on to do well in her colours. In her sole ownership she has seen Blond Me go from a listed winner to a Grade 1 heroine, while Odeliz developed from a listed winner to be a dual winner at the highest level.

In partnership she has been successful at stakes level with Katie’s Diamond and last year’s French Group 2 winning juvenile Comedy.

Now she has struck again with Encapsulation, the three-year-old daughter of Zoffany (Dansili) who won for the second time in just six career starts, landing the Listed Doonside Cup at Ayr. This was a logical step up from her runner-up efforts in listed races at Sandown and Navan.

A 21,000gns foal purchase who failed to sell in the ring as a yearling, Encapsulation started her racing career in the ownership of Eoin Banville of Arctic Tack Stud, trained by Noel Meade. Second to Pink Dogwood in the Listed Salsabil Stakes at Navan, she was then sold and transferred to Andrew Balding. She is the second and best winner for her dam Supercharged (Iffraaj) who won over five furlongs on the polytrack at Wolverhampton at three.

Her other winner, Canford Rose (Canford Cliffs), was successful five times in Italy where she showed extreme durability by being placed 28 times! She was fourth in a listed race, narrowly missing out on catalogue blacktype. This week John Lavery bought Supercharged’s fifth produce, a yearling filly by Ivawood (Zebedee), for €35,000.

Supercharged is one of half a dozen winners from Glympse (Spectrum) and she in turn is a daughter of the former Moyglare Stud matron Seasonal Pickup (The Minstrel).

That mare bred just four winners from 11 foals, a disappointing strike-rate, but her daughters made up for that, breeding the likes of multiple Group 1 winner Designs On Rome (Holy Roman Emperor), and Group/Grade 2 winners Simple Exchange (Danehill) and Rekindled Interest (Redoute’s Choice). This is also the immediate family of 2018 classic winner and 2019 Group 1 scorer Romanised (Holy Roman Emperor).
