Deserved first success for Tohfa
3 May 2015
Tohfa, a €160,000 yearling purchase by Tony Nerses, gained a deserved first success on Saturday when successful under Hayley Turner in the 6 1/2 furlong handicap at Doncaster.
Placed on each of her three starts last season, the Richard Hannon-trained daughter of Dutch Art was always prominent and showed a good attitude to repel the runner-up Secret Spirit.
Tofha is the first foal out of The Fairies Did It, an Elusive Quality half-sister to the Classic-placed Sneaky Quiet. Further back, it is the family of Italian Oaks winner Zanzibar.
