Early shopping for fresh South American racing prospects ahead of the 2008-2009 UAE season is on, as undisclosed interests in the United Arab Emirates have purchased the hugely exciting Chilean two-year-old filly Sos Brillante.

She has been snapped up from the same track that produced the very impressive dual UAE Classic heroine Cocoa Beach.

South American-bred horses dominated the three-year-old division during this year’s Dubai International Racing Carnival with lightly raced South American imports Cocoa Beach (Chi) and Honour Devil (Arg) capping off a brilliant season with victories in both the UAE Oaks and UAE Derby.

Chilean-bred Sos Brillante, a daughter of international sire Dance Brightly, scored by 11 ¾-lengths on her only start, trouncing 11 rivals and completing six-furlongs (1200m) in 1:10.73 at Santiago’s Hipodromo Chile on March 29.

The talented bay filly out of Group 1-placed Mashaallah mare Strike Out, raced in Chile for owner-breeder Jorge Cardemil`s Stud/Haras Carioca and was handled there by trainer Christian Muñoz.

Sos Brillante will be pointed to the 2008-09 season, with a Carnival campaign to include all the top three-year-old races for fillies.
