Three-year-old filly My Fallacy became the first winner among the only three named foals in the first crop of 2001 Victoria Derby winner Amalfi when she recorded a dominant win at Atherton in North Queensland on Saturday.

The filly, a 2.8 lengths winner, has bloodlines in common with John Singleton's recently retired champion Tuesday Joy.

Tuesday Joy is by Amalfi's sire Carnegie, a Sadler's Wells Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, and from Joie Denise, a Danehill product of the magnificent racehorse and matriarch Denise's Joy.

Amalfi's winning daughter My Fallacy, earlier a third placegetter at Eagle Farm, on the other hand, in addition to the Carnegie input through her sire, is the first foal of Vamps, a mare bred on Hennessy – Marscay cross tracing back to a sister to the dam of Denise's Joy.

It is breeding that suggests My Fallacy could be worth a place in a high quality broodmare band, particularly for use with the Danehill sires.

Injury very likely robbed Amalfi of greater glory.

He showed up as a first class racehorse in his first six appearances, winning his first two starts, outings at Eagle Farm (1200m) and Doomben (1350m), following with a quarter length second at Moonee Valley (1600m), a third on the same track in the Bill Stutt Stakes (1600m), a win at in the Norman Robinson (2000m) at Caulfield and then in the Victoria Derby (2500m) at Flemington.

He ran the second fastest time for the Derby in its metric history.

Bred on the same lines as Vision And Power, a winner in Sydney in April of the Doncaster Handicap and George Ryder Stakes, both being by Carnegie and from unrelated mares bred on the Centaine – Sound Reason cross, Amalfi is one of 10 sires located at the Ilala Stud at Scone in the Hunter Valley.

He is one of nine of their sires each of which are available for use in the 2009 season at the amazing low fee of $1,100.

It is for the first 40 mares booked to Ilala sires this year. Low fees also apply to those who miss out on this offer.

A stud that has been operating for less than five years, Ilala is owned by Scone raised George Fraser and his hands-on horsewoman wife Felicity.

One of the first foals they bred is My Fallacy.

Amalfi has one lot in next week's National yearling sale at the Gold Coast, a colt from the Flying Spur mare Aureole, a product of a half-sister to Japan Cup and Washington DC International winner Le Glorieux.
