Filipina (ARG)

1962 – After Spring 1977

Fomento (ARG) x Rosa Roja (ARG), by Rustom Pasha (GB)

Family 1-s


A modest race mare, Filipina reserved her best for the breeding shed. From five foals by the Round Table stallion Table Play, she produced three Argentine Classic winners (two of them champions), a Group 1 producer and a multiple stakes producer. Her only foal not sired by Table Play was a stakes winner.


Race record

11 starts, 2 wins, 731,500 Argentine pesos


As an individual

A chestnut mare, Filipina had a good shoulder, short cannons and clean legs. Her feet were small and she was perhaps a little light on bone.


As a producer

Filipina produced six named foals, all of some importance:
  • Flower Girl (1968, by Lacydon) was a stakes winner in Peru.
  • Telefónico (1971, by Table Play) won the 1974 Polla de Potrancos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas, ARG-G1) and Gran Premio San Isidro (ARG-G1) before being sent to the United States, where he was a Grade 3 winner. He stood in Argentina and Venezuela, siring Group 1 winners in both countries.
  • Titania (1972, by Table Play) produced multiple Argentine Group 1 winner Cerbatana (by Cipayo). She is the third dam of multiple Argentine Group 1 winner La Laguna Azul, the Argentine champion grass female of 2011/2012, and of Group 3 winners Common Ground and Sunny Point.
  • Taba (1973, by Table Play) was the Argentine champion 2-year-old filly of the 1975/76 racing year and won the 1976 Polla de Potrancas (Argentine One Thousand Guineas, ARG-G1). She is the dam of 1986 American champion older male Turkoman (by Alydar) and listed stakes winner Slow Fuse (by Fluorescent Light). Taba also produced Now Go (by Exclusive Native), dam of listed stakes winner Now Dance (by Sovereign Dancer), and Thunder Maid (by Alydar), dam of multiple Japanese stakes winner Saga Novel (by Boundary) and third dam of multiple Japanese Group 3 winner Brightline.
  • Telescópico (1975, by Table Play) swept the Argentine Quadruple Crown series in 1978 and was the Argentine Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old male of the 1978/79 racing year. He was not particularly successful as a sire in Brazil but did get two high-class fillies in multiple Brazilian Group 1 winner Garden of Love and Grade 1 winner and multiple Grade 1 producer Griffe de Paris.
  • Telescópica (1977, by Table Play) produced multiple listed stakes winner Ms. Aerosmith (by Skywalker) and Japanese stakes winner Eishin Vincennes (by Relaunch). She is also the second dam of 1988 Gran Premio Provincia de Buenos Aires (ARG-G1) winner Tifosi, Argentine Group 3 winner Miradita Toss and Grade 3 winner Illiquidity. Telescópica is the third dam of 2004/05 Argentine champion 2-year-old male Forty Mirage, 2010 Hollywood Derby (USA-G1) winner Haimish Hy, multiple Brazilian Group 2 winner Jodie, Argentine Group 2 winners Ibope and Forty Millera, Argentine Group 3 winners Cangas de Onis and Stormy Mira and Brazilian Group 3 winner Lagoa Azul.


Connections

Filipina was owned by Haras Don Yeye.


Pedigree notes

Filipina is outcrossed through five generations. She is out of Rosa Roja, a daughter of 1930 Eclipse Stakes winner Rustom Pasha and Reseda, whose sire Fox Cub led the Argentine general sire list in 1949. Reseda, in turn, was produced from Rosita Forbes, a daughter of the great Argentine champion Macon and the English import Roseray (by 1921 Two Thousand Guineas winner Craig an Eran).
