The farm has got off the flier this season with multiple Group 1-winning graduate Montefilia gaining more black-type for her new connections of Yulong Stud.

While sporting her new silks under the care of Chris Waller, Montefilia notched up yet another stakes victory in the $2 million G2 Hill S. at Rosehill during the recent Sydney Spring Carnival and in doing so took her earnings beyond $4.5 million.
