Daughter Of Forensics Wins On Debut

The first foal of multiple Australian Group One winner Forensics has made an impressive winning debut in England.
Wordcraft won a fillies maiden at Newmarket on Saturday, giving trainer Charlie Appleby his 100th winner of the season.
Always travelling powerfully throughout the seven-furlong (1400m) for James Doyle, Wordcraft ranged up in the latter stages.
As push came to shove the three-year-old daughter of Shamardal quickly went about her business to put a length-and-a-half between herself and Bella Nostalgia.
"She is a nice filly out of a very good Australian mare who is all speed," Appleby said.
"I was a bit concerned about the ground as it would have been plenty quick enough, but her class saw her through."
Forensics won the 2007 Golden Slipper and added three more Group One wins the following year including the Myer Classic.
She was bred and raced by Woodlands Stud until Sheikh Mohammed bought the operation from Bob Ingham in early 2008.
