National Stakes won by £10,000 yearling Flippa The Strippa

The cheapest of six yearling purchases to line up in the at Sandown on Thursday evening proved that price is no hindrance to her ability, as she ran out a game winner despite appearing to idle in the last furlong.

The Charlie Hills-trained Flippa The Strippa, a first-crop daughter of Outstrip, was purchased by Chris Wright's Stratford Place Stud for £10,000 from her breeder Linacre House Stud at the Tattersalls Ascot September Sale.

Her victory makes Outstrip the second freshman sire to field a stakes winner in Europe this year, after Due Diligence filly Good Vibes landed the Listed Marygate Stakes at York last week.

Flippa The Strippa is a half-sister to the winning miler Vice Marshal, and is the third foal out of the Verglas mare Celsius Degre, a winner in France.

The February-foaled youngster was a winner of a novice auction stakes at Chepstow on her second start two weeks ago, and was chased home in second by the No Nay Never filly Jm Jackson, a €58,000 purchase for connections at the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale, while in third was the Dialed In colt Strive For Glory, signed for by his trainer Robert Cowell for $80,000 at the Keeneland September Sale.

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Outstrip, an eight-year-old son of Exceed And Excel, has 107 two-year-olds to represent him this year, with his other winner to date the Italian scorer Cappuccino Bay.
