Miss Marauder was the Windsor Park Stud freshman sire Falkirk's first race winner.

The filly, trained on the course by Matthew Eales, scored a strong onpace win to beat another highly rated filly Kallisan. Miss Marauder had produced a bold run for fifth, from a wide barrier, when tackling the Wellesley Stakes at Trentham on debut. The margin on Saturday was a long neck, with a further 1 3/4L back to third placed Juzchillin. The time was a smart 1.05.11.

Miss Marauder is now likely to tackle the $70,000, Group Three, Eclipse Stakes (1200m) at Ellerslie on January 1, to give her experience at Ellerslie before the $1 million Karaka Million (1200m) on January 31.

A $30,000 yearling buy Miss Marauder, out of Kate Lorimer, showed pace reminiscent of her sire Falkirk who was a brilliant international Group-winning sprinter in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and New Zealand.

From just a handful of starters Falkirk looks to have a great future with the promising placegetters San Leonardo and Triple Treats, along with a number of trials winners, to represent him.
