At the 15th time of asking the A P Arrow filly, Arrowfield, shed her maiden certificate in fine style in the 1600m Maiden Plate for fillies and mares at Borrowdale Park on February 8. Derreck David began moving the filly into contention when approaching the home turn, and soon after the 400m mark it was clear this was Arrowfields’ day.
Arrowfield was saddled by Assistant trainer Penny Fisher of Gee Racing, bred by Northfields Stud (Pty) Ltd, and is owned by Julie Zieve, John Koumides and Robin Bruss.
