Hellbent is a stallion on a real upward trajectory, already producing 10 stakes winners and more than $20 million in prizemoney, while maintaining a strong winners to runners strike rate north of 63%. He is the sire of Group 1 winner Magic Time and top level mares like Benedetta, and his stock keep turning up with genuine speed and toughness. Importantly, he is still doing it right now, with Savvy Hallie recently pushing champion filly Tempted right to the line at Randwick, a timely reminder of the quality Hellbent is producing at the highest level.

On pedigree, this filly has plenty behind her. She is out of the Husson mare Husson’s Kiss, a winner who was also placed in the Tasmanian Oaks, and the family has already produced multiple winners including The Nephew, a tough staying type who won the Tasmanian Derby. The second dam Senro Kisaki adds another layer of quality through Rubisaki, a high class mare who won at Group 2 level and performed well in strong Group races, so there is real substance running through the page.
