  Dark Confidant (AUS) - Breeding Report  

Description

Dark Confidant is a dual-winning daughter of top-class stallion Pierro, and a half-sister to Group 2 performer Serious Liaison. Most excitingly she is also a half-sister to impressive debut winner Sense of Honour, who connections have firm black type aspirations for in the Spring.

Dark Confidant was often an unlucky mare in her racing career, and was only beaten 2.6L at Group 3 level and also contested the Group 1 VRC Oaks, such was the opinion of her.

Pierro looks a great future prospect as a broodmare stallion, and this mare is also completely free of Danehill so presents as a great breeding option, with a big chance of a big update through her unbeaten half-sister Sense of Honour.

She sells as a racing and breeding prospect and has been spelling since her most recent start. She is being sold to dissolve a partnership.
