When you consider the power and consistency of the Silver Stride Stables owned filly, Paradise Island, it is not surprising that she is among the top two year olds this season. This year she has surmounted a total of six wins, and will be looking for a seventh in the Breeder's Cup at the end of this year - if this occurs, the filly will have reached grade three within a year.
In light of this news, I went to Silver Stride Stables to speak with the trainer of the filly, Matthias Lanning. "Sonja has been performing well all year, and this latest victory against older horses just goes to show what she is capable of. After much deliberation, we have decided to send her to the Breeder's cup Juvenile Fillies in December Week 4, and hope she will be able to strike again. Even if Sonja fails to take the Breeder's Cup win we have high hopes for the Best Two Year Old Filly award, and will also be trying for one of the grade awards as well. Furthermore, we feel that Sonjka has a great future ahead of her, and hope to prove her talents in the Triple Tiara next year."
Will the filly, whose origins are a mystery, come to be one of the greatest names on the track next year? Will she folow in the hoofprints of the Star Thoroughbreds filly, Born To Soar? WWe are soon to find out.
