Keep An Eye On SA Picture: Racing & Sports

Race 1: Esha

A blueblood filly with a price tag to match, Esha is already making good on the investment.

By Extreme Choice out of G1 winner I Am A Star, this $900k Magic Millions buy for Kia Ora Stud and Shane Nichols was all class on debut. She'd shown plenty in her jump-outs, then went out and crushed them by 3.4L, beating home a smart one in Chisholm, who'd run well in stakes company on debut.

Led, kicked, and clocked 33.72 home - it was a statement win and she's certainly one to keep an eye on.
