STRUDEL BEL’S OUT WEST

Compiling a couple of wins from her eight outings for Barrie and Midge Griffiths, Bel Esprit mare, Strudel, was offered up for auction at last November’s Inglis Australian Racehorse Sale, eventually fetching $16,000 for West Australian bloodstock agent Malcolm Ayoub.
Malcolm’s purchase was justified on Monday (5 April) when Strudel – now racing for Paula Wragg’s stable – proved too nippy over 1000m at Pinjarra, notching up her third career victory.
Strudel is certainly well named – a full sister to winner Apple Esprit – she’s out of 5-time stakes winner Apple Danish.
