Grand racemare Seachange and her 2011 colt by Zabeel
Rick Williams reckons there's a better than even chance that Seachange's yearling daughter will show the family ability on the racetrack.
The Oaks Stud manager was forced to withdraw the filly from the Premier Sale at Karaka due to a bout of colic, but he has let farm owner and breeder Dick Karreman know it could be a silver lining scenario.
"She's okay now and she'll go home today (Wednesday) and I said to Dick that it's destiny – she'll probably turn out to be a champion!" Williams said.
The Darci Brahma filly would have been the third foal of Seachange, a seven-time Group One winner, to have gone through the Karaka ring.
The only one to race has been Divan, who sold for $500,000 in 2013 and he has subsequently won three times in Victoria from Robert Hickmott's stable.
