Homebred Treasurethe Moment is by Yulong’s exciting young sire Alabama Express, out of the Street Cry (IRE) mare Draconic Treasure (USA). Born and raised on farm, the three-year-old filly, trained by Matt Laurie, won the Gr.2 Wakeful Stakes at Flemington, backing up five days later to record a dominant victory in the Gr.1 VRC Oaks.
She followed this breakthrough Gr.1 win with an impressive victory in Gr.2 Angus Armanasco Stakes at Caufield, and extended her unbeaten streak with a dashing 2.25l victory in the Gr.2 Kewney Stakes at Flemington on Super Saturday. On her maiden voyage to Sydney, the star three-year-old added a second scintillating Gr.1 victory, taking the Gr.1 Vinery Stud Stakes in emphatic style.
