Description
- Gaelic Puzzle is a metropolitan winning daughter of Rubick, sire of exciting young stallion Yes Yes Yes and multiple group winning mare Rubisaki.
- She was purchased for $250,000 at the 2018 Magic Millions yearling sale. This was the third highest priced Rubick yearling filly ever sold at auction.
- Gaelic Puzzle comes from a fast, sound running family - Her first 6 dams have produced 39 winners from 47 foals to race which equates to a strike rate of 83% runners to winners.
- She is a half sister to the stakes placed galloper So Let's Toast and has an unraced 3yo half brother by Artie Schiller currently in training with John and Chris Ledger. She also has an unraced 2yo half sister by Sebring and her dam Slainte was last covered by All Too Hard on 3/9/21.
- Her first three dams are by outstanding sires and broodmare sires Not A Single Doubt, Royal Academy and Sir Tristram.
- Gaelic Puzzle is offered for sale in foal to promising young sire Astern. Astern has already produced 11 stakes horses, including G2 winner Sail By as well as Seradess who has won her last two starts at G2 and G3 level. Gaelic Puzzle arrived at Bell View Park Stud in mid October 2021 and went in foal on her first cover on 27/10/21.
- Gaelic Puzzle was measured at 15.3HH. She is a strong, attractive, athletic mare and is straight forward to handle.
