Wootton Bassett is headed to Australia for the first time this spring and the proven Group I sire proved his stripes here on Sunday siring his first Australian trained winner with a brilliant debut victory for Rapid Achiever (4m Wootton Bassett x Diavola, by Duke of Marmalade).

Trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, the French bred mare was favourite for the 1354m maiden at Donald and showed her rivals a clean pair of heels when galloping away to win by more than three lengths.

Purchased by renowned Australian bloodstock agent John Foote for 130,000 euros from the Arqana October Yearling Sale, Rapid Achiever runs for a syndicate of owners and looks to have her share of ability.

She is the first winner for Diavola, a half-sister by Duke of Marmalade to stakes-winner Dalkova from the family of Group I stars Daliapour, Darshaan and blue hen Darara.

In France in July he produced a stakes double at Deauville courtesy of unbeaten two year-old filly Zellie (2f Wootton Bassett x Sarai, by Nathaniel) and quality four year-old mare Speak of the Devil (4m Wootton Bassett x Moranda, by Indian Rocket).

The Andre Fabre trained Zellie was a hot favourite for the Listed Prix Roland de Chambure (1400m) and scored an easy three length victory, her third win from three starts.

Zellie is the first winner for Sarai, a placed half-sister by Nathaniel to Group I winner Speciosa and Group III winners Major Rhythm and Special Meaning.

She is the 19th stakes-winner worldwide for Wootton Bassett.

Making it a stakes double on the day for Wootton Bassett was Speak of the Devil, the Frederic Rossi trained mare scoring a short head win in the Listed Prix de la Calonne (1600m) taking her overall record to three wins from nine starts.

It was the second stakes success for Speak of the Devil, who was second in the Group I Deauville Poule d’Essai des Pouliches last year.

She is a half-sister to Group III winner Morando from Moranda, a half-sister by Indian Rocket to Group III winner Myasun and stakes-winner Matwan.
