Sizzling made his mark on Caulfield Cup Day with promising filly Zizzis winning the opening race on the program and Sizzleme gaining Black Type with a brave third in the Group III MRC Ethereal Stakes.
The Patrick Payne strained filly led all the way and stuck to her guns to win the 1400 metre contest by a short half head.
Zizzis is now Gold Coast bound for the Magic Millions Guineas after her all-the-way victory at Caulfield with managing part-owner Joe O’Neill outlining plans for the $120,000 Magic Millions purchase after her victory.
Before a trip north, Zizzis has a date during Melbourne Cup week in a bid to gain black type for her breeding page.
O’Neill has the Listed Jim Beam Black Stakes in mind for Zizzis.
I won it a few years ago with Hijack Hussy, which was the race before the Melbourne Cup,” O’Neill said.
“It’s the race we’ve got in mind again and then we can back off and head to the Magic Millions for the Guineas.”
