Americain's first starter wins in Canada

Americain's stallion career is off to a perfect start with his first starter making a winning debut at Woodbine in Toronto.

Two-year-old filly Folk Magic, a product of the 2010 Melbourne Cup winner's first northern hemisphere crop, won a 1200-metre maiden by 3-3/4 lengths on Sunday (AEST).

Americain stands the Australian season at Swettenham Stud in Victoria and his first southern hemisphere progeny will race in the new season.
