Race caller extraordinary Welcome to Gezlodge trains this this 6yrold mare by PERSIAN TURBAN (IRE) x PERFECT x RED GOD pretty obscure breeding but in this case very successful as this mare has won 7 from 25 and $295,068 in earnings. Form was pretty mediocre as a young filly but in last four starts she has hit a rich vein of form winning them all and a nice win last time in the aptly named The Sim Race Calls Plate-Alw over 9f in a 105sp means she may yet win again.

Twoofus Stables trains this 5yrold mare by DAYJUR from the stakes placed mare VICKI’S GAL who is probably one of the best broodmares in the sim she is the dam also of the GP DANZIG’S BUDA SP STORM OF BUDA and SW’s ROCK THE BUDA(KY) & DUBAI SPIRIT(KY) so as you can see this is a top quality mare and this may just be her best progeny she has won 10 from 32 and $1,955,500 in stakes.
