By Home Affairs, this filly carries one of the hottest young sire profiles in the country. Home Affairs was a brilliant two year old and a dual Group 1-winning sprinter, and his momentum has only grown at stud. He made a huge statement in the sale ring when a daughter became the highest-priced yearling ever sold at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale at $3.2 million, and his first runners have already announced him in style through Golden Slipper winner Guest House.

The page underneath is full of proper Australian speed. She is out of Zara Bay, a Fastnet Rock mare from one of the best sprinting families in the book. Zara Bay is a sister to Merchant Navy, a dual Group 1 winner and elite international sprinter, and to Jolie Bay, the dam of multiple Group 1 winner Joliestar. The family also includes Setanta and Ebhaar, so there is quality and black type right through the female line.

This is the kind of filly that makes immediate sense for Australian owners. Home Affairs brings brilliance and speed, while the dam side is packed with proven sprinting talent and current performance. It is a sharp, current pedigree with real strength behind it, and the sort of page that gives a filly every chance to be exciting on the track and valuable when her racing days are over.
