What we do know is that she comes from a strong genetic background. Her sire, Not This Time, has built a solid reputation as a source of precocious, sharp young horses who tend to hit the ground running in their first season. Her dam is by More Than Ready, another speed influence, which suggests 00koala Princess is bred to be quick and competitive from the off rather than the sort who needs time and distance to find her best.
The team behind her is well worth noting. Trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy operates out of Newmarket — the spiritual home of British flat racing — and has sent out 41 winners already this season alone. That is not a yard sending out hopeful runners and crossing their fingers; that is an operation with genuine momentum and the knowhow to place a horse where it can win. When a stable in that kind of form introduces a newcomer, it usually means they have seen something in morning work that gives them confidence.
Everything about her first run is a question mark, which is part of what makes it worth watching.
