The most expensive filly sold at the 2015 Magic Millions Yearling Sale when fetching $1,050,000 for Newgate Farm, blue-blooded Fastnet Rock filly Alter Call made a pleasing debut at Flemington Saturday when second in the Listed VRC Festival of Racing Stakes.
Prepared by Peter Moody, she found the line strongly in the China Horse Club colours to be beaten just half a length by the more seasoned filly Selenia and will benefit immensely for the outing.
Bred by SF Bloodstock, Alter Call is the first foal of dual Group I winner Response, who was on-sold by Newgate Farm for $1.5 million at the 2015 Magic Millions Broodmare Sale to Katumi Yoshida.
