Purciaretta landed her first black-type win in the Listed Premio Divino Amore Livermore and became her first-season sire's second stakes scorer at Campannelle. A winner at first asking back in May, she won a Rome affair four starts later going 1000 metres on Sept. 24. She then took a conditions race there on Oct. 15 and was narrowly favoured on Sunday.
Breaking from the rail, the filly raced one off the fence and just behind a rival in second. Purciaretta spent the middle part of the race with her head angled toward the grandstand, but straightened out and took over by the 200-metre mark. Fellow filly Stay Kitten was second.
The fifth foal out of the winning Sharqawiyah, Purciaretta is a half-sister to the Acclamation (GB) filly Abby Hatcher (Ire), successful in the GIII Chicago S. Her dam's latest two foals are fillies-a yearling by Mastercraftsman (Ire) and a weanling by Phoenix of Spain (Ire). This is the extended family of dual Group 1 winner Poet's Word (Ire) (Poet's Voice {GB}). Video.
