The Toronado (IRE) mare Mariamia completed her rapid ascent to the top rung of sprinters when successful in the $1,000,000 Group 1 Kia Ora Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

Tyler Schiller celebrated his first Group 1 winner as Mariamia defeated the Cable Bay gelding Uncommon James by a lengths with the 3yo Capitalist colt Cannonball a half-length back in third.
The Group II Expressway Stakes winner on January 28, the Joe Pride-trained mare, bounced back after a slightly disappointing fourth in the Group II Millie Fox Stakes won by Electric Girl.
“She didn’t see the 1300m out the other day but freshened up and back to a sprint trip, she was really dynamic there today,” Pride said.
“That’s her crowning moment, she’s won a Galaxy now.
“It’s a long process, but it’s about having the right team around your horse. There’s plenty of very good trainers out there that are doing their best with their horses as well. For me, we specialise in taking these horses on that maybe need a little bit of rejuvenating, getting the right people around them, and I just relish the task of taking on a horse who maybe someone else has given up on.
“She’s a bonny mare, just great to see her do that there today to state the obvious. She’s been going so well all preparation, and just that run at 1300m it stretched her out with a really quick tempo, and she didn’t really get her chance to finish off that day.

“Given that quiet run in behind them today with no weight on her back and a great reward for Tyler (Schiller), I know he’ll really appreciate that. He rode more winners for me last season than anyone else, and to be able to give him a reward like that it’ll be pretty special for him, and it’s certainly special for us.”
Tyler Schiller revealed the victory had extra special meaning.
“My dad, he’s got cancer. All he wanted to see was for me to win a Group 1 and to come out and do it today, it was unreal,” Schiller revealed.
“It’s the best feeling in the world, to do it on a mare like that. She’s come through the grades really sharply and Joe (Pride) has turned her around, but gee she’s a good mare.
“She jumped well, put herself in the spot. When I quickened up on the inside of Eduardo I thought I was home, she did the rest.
“I thought it was inevitable at 100m, she was doing it easy, no one was catching her. To see her freeball for the last 200m, she’s a super mare, and I am very grateful to Joe (Pride) and the connections for putting me on. I can’t believe I won a Group 1.”
Newhaven Park Stud’s six-year-old Toronado mare Mariamia advances her record to eight three seven from 37 starts with earnings of $1,135,510.
Mariamia, was purchased by Newhaven Park for $335,000 off Shane Stockdale at the 2022 Inglis March (Early) Online Sale. She was an $18,000 purchase from the Swettenham Stud draft from book 2 of the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale.
Mariamia is the best of two winners from three to race for the Encosta de Lago mare Quinta Lago.
A sister to Group II-placed Halekulani and a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 VRC Derby hero Warning (Declaration of War), Quinta Lago was dropped from official records in 2020.
Bred by Adam Sangster, Mariamia is the second consecutive winner of the Galaxy for Toronado (IRE) after Shelby Sixty Six and is the fourth Group 1 winner for the son of High Chaparral (IRE).

The timely online purchase of broodmare Devil In Her Heart in 2021 paid handsome dividends for the family-run Carramar Park at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale on Monday.
Carramar Park’s Tim Alchin paid $27,500 for the unraced Star Witness mare via Inglis Digital, with the mare nursing a Palentino foal at foot and also in foal to Toronado.
Months later, Devil In Her Heart’s siblings Wandabaa and Malkovich emerged as Stakes winners, while Toronado’s stocks have continued to rise via the deeds of Masked Crusader
The Toronado colt caught the attention of several prospective buyers once he stepped into the ring at Riverside Stables before eventually being knocked down to Hong Kong-based Legend Bloodstock and Dullingham for $270,000.
Alchin said Monday’s result was a dream come true.
“Growing up with the horses, I always wanted a mare so I was looking online and this girl came up,” Alchin said.
“The family was active – it had Seewhatshebrings and then Malkovich emerged and then Wandaba started winning.
“Toronado had Masked Crusader at the time.
“The rest is history.
“It really is a dream result, it’s unreal.”
The result continued solid Inglis Classic Sale for Swettenham Stud’s Toronado, who had 10 yearlings sells for an average $211,000.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club paid $420,000 for Lot 256, a Toronado colt from SA’ Cornerstone Stud, while the stallion’s progeny were also snapped up by Mick Price, Michael Kent and Michael Hickmott.

Joe Pride has the Midas touch in rejuvenating older horses and has worked his magic on Newhaven Park Stud’s six-year-old Toronado mare Mariamia.

With Tim Clark in the saddle, Mariamia opened her stakes account in Saturday’s Group II Furphy Expressway Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill.
Enjoying a cosy run, one out one back, Mariamia increased her margin at every call in the straight to defeat the Caulfield Guineas winner Golden Mile (Astern) by two and three-quarter lengths with Nicolini Vito (Nicconi) a further one and three-quarter lengths back in third.
A dual Group III placegetter, Mariamia, was purchased by Newhaven Park for $335,000 off Shane Stockdale at the 2022 Inglis March (Early) Online Sale.
She has won three of seven for Pride, advancing her overall record to seven wins, three seconds, and seven thirds from 35 starts with earnings of $573,610.
Mariamia was a late entry for the race when nominations were extended.
“It’s not very often I late nom horses if you think you haven’t got the right race, you probably shouldn’t be there. But it looked like an opportunity for her, and I was surprised how well she went today,” Pride said.
“I will take a mare anywhere there is some opportunity, and that presented itself early on in the week.
“I have a lot of time for that mare, but she pinged there today. It was only off a two-week break after a really good first up run. A really good performance.”
“Based on what she did today, there will be some really nice races for her over the carnival.
“She came to the stable less than 12 months ago and has done really well in that time. I love these tried horses. They’ve been great, the Kellys, to source some really good horses over the years for me. The job is not done yet. She will definitely go to stud at the end of this season but hopefully, some more fun before then.”
Mariamia an $18,000 Inglis Premier yearling
An $18,000 purchase from the Swettenham Stud draft from book 2 of the 2018 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale, Mariamia is the best of two winners from three to race for the Encosta de Lago mare Quinta Lago.
A sister to Group II-placed Halekulani and a half-sister to the dam of Group 1 VRC Derby hero Warning (Declaration of War), Quinta Lago was dropped from official records in 2020.
Bred by Adam Sangster, Mariamia is the 30th stakes-winner for Swettenham Stud’s High Chapparal (IRE) stallion Toronado (IRE).
Resolute Racing’s Woodshauna gives Al Shaqab’s Wooded a first Group 1 winner
Woodshauna provided his sire Wooded with a first Group 1 winner when springing a surprise in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. The Francis Graffard-trained three-year-old was carrying the colours of John Stewart’s Resolute Racing for the first time, with the operation having bought the colt for £625,000 from Al Shaqab at last month’s Goffs […]
