Zurella (ex Doneze Girl, by Volksraad) became Zabeel’s 138
th individual black type winner when scoring a powerful victory in yesterday’s Group Three Ezibuy Eulogy Stakes (1600m) at Awapuni.
Trained by Shaune Ritchie for her breeder & owner Dick Karreman (The Oaks Stud), Zurella has now won 3 of her 4 starts, having run second on debut before the winning sequence.
Zurella was bred to be good.
Her dam is a half-sister to the talented Diamond Deck (Highview Stakes-Gr.3) and is from the immediate family of Lonhro (26 wins, Australian Horse of the Year and 2011 Champion Australian Sire).
