Group Two Success for Blue-Blood My Typhoon

11th June 2007

Royally bred mare My Typhoon (5m Giant’s Causeway – Urban Sea, by Miswaki) led throughout to win the Group Two Just a Game Stakes at Belmont on the weekend.

The Bill Mott trained mare was allowed to saunter along in the lead and kicked well clear in the straight to win the mile contest on turf by nearly four lengths.

In winning her eighth race from 18 starts, My Typhoon became racing’s newest millionaire with exactly $1,003,361 in prizemoney for her owners Live Oak Plantation.

Purchased for 1,800,000 guineas as a weanling at the 2002 Tattersalls December Sale, My Typhoon is one of seven stakes horses produced by Arc de Triomphe heroine Urban Sea and was bred by Sunderland Holdings.

An exceptional producer, Urban Sea is the dam of champion racehorse and sire Galileo and his Group One winning brother Black Sam Bellamy, also Group Three winners Urban Ocean and All Too Beautiful as well as stakes-winner and Group One placed Melikah and this season’s Group placed three year-old Cherry Hinton.

My Typhoon is one of six American Group winners for Giant’s Causeway this year.
