First-season sire Exosphere was handed his first winner on Thursday.
Darley based first-season sire Exosphere (Lonhro) was handed his first winner on Thursday when the James Cummings-trained Thermosphere (2 f ex Glows by Canny Lad) landed the Simtrack Maiden 2YO Plate (1300m) at Newcastle.
Having her third career start, the two-year-old filly was slow out of the barriers and showed good strength and tenacity to beat Cultural Amnesia (Snitzel) in a close finish.
Bred by Godolphin, the filly is out of Listed-winning mare Glows (Canny Lad). Meanwhile the pedigree also features Group 3 winner Falaise (Grand Lodge) and Listed winner Pearly Kings (Quest For Fame).
In 2018 Glows produced a brother to Thermosphere, while in 2019 she produced a three-quarter-brother by Coolmore sire Pierro (Lonhro) and she has most recently been covered by Exosphere again last October.
Exosphere, who shuttled to Haras du Logis in France in 2016, stood at Kelvinside in New South Wales in 2019 and covered a book of 86 mares at a fee of $22,000 (inc GST).
The Darley stallion has four lots catalogued at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, which gets underway on Sunday and Turangga Farm will offer a colt by the sire at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale, which begins its two-day run on April 7.
