FIVE-TIME Group 1 winner Chautauqua had to settle for third in the Aus$200,000 Group 2 Rubiton Stakes at Caulfield last Saturday. The winner was the Written Tycoon four-year-old filly Super Cash, and she beat the Group 1-winning three-year-old I Am A Star by a length and a quarter into second place. Last season Super Cash won the Listed Moomba Plate at Flemington.
Super Cash has now won four of her 14 career starts and Aus$360,250. She is the second of three named foals, the first three progeny, out of the three-time winning Super Bucks, and the other pair are her full-brothers Super Tycoon and Fast Tycoon. Super Savings has since foaled a 2014 filly and 2015 colt by Hussonet, while her most recent offspring is a 2016 full-sister to her three winning progeny.
The second dam of Super Cash is the stakes-placed Dancing Dissident mare Anemone Garden who carried the colours of the late Judge Frank Roe and Broguestown Stud-owner Michael Dalton during her career. She was trained by Kevin Prendergast when owned by Roe, while Aidan O’Brien handled her for Dalton. She earned blacktype when runner-up to multiple Group 1 winner Timarida in a listed race. Bred by Beryl Murless and Jeremy Hill, Anemone Garden is a half-sister to the dual listed winner Felicita, by former Irish National Stud stallion Catrail, and to the dam of the stakes winner Hillbilly Boy (by Haafhd). Their dam is a daughter of the 1000 Guineas winner Caergwrle.
