The Autumn Sun has been chosen as the maiden suitor for the talented but troublesome three-year-old See You Soon whose racetrack career was dramatically cut short after the stubborn filly refused to go into the barriers.
The Jean Dubois-trained See You Soon was a shock late scratching as favourite in the Silver Shadow Stakes last month and was attempting to gain a reprieve at the Rosehill barrier trial session yesterday.
A winner of the Kirkham Plate (1000m) last October and running placings in the Golden Gift (1100m), Reisling Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) and the Percy Sykes Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) at two, the valuable filly was scratched from heat one after rearing in the air with attendants unable to coax her into the gates.
A frustrated Dubois immediately called a halt to the homebred filly's career and, speaking to ANZ Bloodstock News later, revealed that See You Soon would be covered by Arrowfield Stud's five-time Group 1 winner The Autumn Sun who is out of Galileo mare Azmiyna.
