Inspirational Girl lands Asian Beau Stakes

The Westbury Stud shuttler Reliable Man (Dalakhani) chalked up his 14th stakes winner on Saturday as his daughter Inspirational Girl (5 m ex Be Inspired by Zabeel) landed the Asian Beau Stakes (Gr 3, 1400m) at Ascot.

Trained by Grant and Alana Williams, the five-year-old got the better of Too Close The Sun (Carlton House), eventually beating him by a neck, while Red Can Man (Gingerbread Man) was another half a length away in third. 

Purchased by John Chalmers Bloodstock for $190,000 at the 2017 New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka National Yearling Sale, the mare is out of placed Zabeel (Sir Tristram) mare Be Inspired, making him a half-brother to Listed winner Ruettiger (Duporth). 

Be Inspired is herself a daughter of three time-winning Done That (Centaine) and she is a sister to Group 3 winner Rainbow Styling, while she is a half-sister to Zingaling (Redoute’s Choice). 

Done That herself is a grandam of Group 2 winner Demonetization (All Too Hard) and Listed winner Neverland (Big Brown). 

Be Inspired’s 2017 filly by Hinchinbrook (Fastnet Rock) was purchased by Chris Waller Racing and Brae Sokolski for $300,000 at the 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and she is now called Brookspire and is unraced. 

Reliable Man is standing for a fee of NZ$15,000 (plus GST).
