Tropical Squall has taken the step to the next level by becoming Prized Icon's first black type performer.
The three-year-old filly secured a Group 2 placing when she finished a game third in the Tea Rose Stakes (1500m) at Randwick.
Tropical Squall (pictured as a weanling) was having only her third start following impressive wins at Canterbury and the Kensington track.
Prized Icon, a dual Group 1 winner of $2.1 million in prizemoney, has had a limited number of runners this season but is closing in on the top 10 on the Leading Australian Second Season Sires list.
The son of More Than Ready is continuing to build his book for 2023, standing for $8800 (inc GST) at Kooringal Stud.
