NEWS A New Star For Lonhro! Tuesday, 19 January 2010: Tasmania has a new star after the stunning debut at Tattersall's Park on Sunday of impeccably bred Lonhro two-year-old filly Beau Vallon. Beau Vallon gave a star-studded field of juveniles a galloping lesson on her way to an effortless 6-1/2 length win in the SuperVobis 2YO Handicap. The opposition included Alexandra Plate winner Destiana and Alfa Bowl winner Royal Miswaki and while they both conceded weight to Beau Vallon it was the way the Charlie Goggin-trained filly treated her rivals with contempt that left an indelible impression. Beau Vallon went into her race debut on the back of two impressive trial wins but the question was whether she would handle race day pressure. The filly coped easily as when jockey David Pires gave her more rein she found another gear and left her rivals in her wake. The filly hit the line 6-1/2 lengths clear of Destiana with first-starter Tough Diamond 1-1/2 lengths astern and just in advance of Radha Rani. Beau Vallon is from the Palace Music mare Eve In Seychelles, who was purchased by prominent Tasmanian owner-breeder Terry Clarke at a dispersal sale in Melbourne for $45,000 and in foal to Lonhro with Beau Vallon the outcome of that pregnancy. The filly was put through the Melbourne yearling sale by Clarke took her home when she failed to attract a bid. "I opted to syndicate the filly out to a few friends and here we are today with a very nice filly that could be anything," Clarke said. Trainer Charlie Goggin was ecstatic with the win. "She's handled the pressure well and pretty much did on racer day what she's done at the trials and that is very pleasing," Goggin said.
