THE six-year-old Tuttipaesi, bred by Eithne Hamilton who has had a long association with the family, recently added the Grade 2 Santa Ana Stakes to her curriculum vitae and boosted her career earnings to a few dollars short of $500,000.

The daughter of Clodovil is out of the unraced Acatenango mare Ruby Ridge who was bred by Gainsborough Stud Management but acquired at a later stage by Eithne. The attraction was obvious as Eithne had purchased Ruby Ridge’s dam Desert Frolic and with her bred a number of good horses, notably Dubai Prince, Jakarta Jade and Cadre.
