Validation showed she is a star of the racetrack rather than the sales ring with her big win in the group 3 Caduceus Club of Southland Alabar Fillies Classic. Validation was not hot property in the sales ring as a yearling last year, being passed in just as her full brother Incentivise was the year prior. For Validation, it was not long after she was passed in in the sales ring that she started showing promise. “She has been a pleasure to do anything with since day one.”Houghton aimed Validation at the group 3 Caduceus Club of Southland Alabar Fillies Classic, giving her a start at Addington to prepare. After holding off a mid-race attack for the lead, the filly cleared out for a big win.
