Supersonic performance from Mach Three filly

Harness racing three year old filly Supersonic Miss sent a shot across the bow of all her competitors in the New South Wales Breeders Challenge series with a superb front running display in her semi-final at Menangle last night.

Away well from barrier nine for co-trainer and driver Mark Purdon, Supersonic Miss worked to the front after 400 metres and from there it was not if she would win but by how much she would win.

Mark kept her rolling in front and a first half of the last mile in 56.9 meant Supersonic Miss had her rivals gasping from as far out as the 600 metres.

Mark sat as quiet as in the bike as Supersonic Miss put daylight between her and the chasing pack with the official margin being 23 metres.

Supersonic Miss paced the 2400 metres in 2:54.8, a mile rate of 1:57.2 and her time was nearly four seconds quicker than the winner of the other semi-final in Makes Every Scents.

Last nights win was the eighth lifetime for Supersonic Miss and took her earnings over the $230,000 mark 

The two year old filly of the year in New Zealand in 2013/2014, Supersonic Miss has had a season in 2014/2015 that promised plenty but didn't quite deliver in New Zealand.

The daughter of Mach Three won over $75,000 in New Zealand over the season but always seemed to find one better in a lot of the big fillies races

Mark Purdon was a happy man post race.

" She did that very easily and really impressed me"

" She was in cruise control up the straight."

"Since we came to Australia, she has really improved, the most of any of the team."

"On tonights performance she will be very hard to beat in the final," Mark said
