Winona Award - Proudly Sponsored by IRT

Amarillen (Fake Left – Nellirama) has been voted the 2017 Australian Broodmare of the Year.

Owned by Anthony Caruana, the progeny of Amarillen had a phenomenal year on the track, highlighted by star fillies, Miss Graceland, who won the Group 1 Nevele R Stud Victoria Oaks Final, and Nostra Beach, the winner of the Group 1 Australian Pacing Gold 2 Year Old Fillies Final.

Both of these fillies were bred by the late Rick Hinds and his wife Naomi.

Overall, Amarillen is the dam of 9 foals of racing age, of which 8 are winners. Amazingly, the only non-winner of racing age is Pixel Perfect, who was runner up in the 2017 Australian Broodmare of the Year voting.

In the 2016/2017 season, Amarillen produced three winners for a total of 13 wins, 8 placings and $367,460 in stakemoney, as listed below:
