Description

A proven producer by a leading broodmare sire in foal to a Champion

Danehill-free Ballet Blue is a proven producer with all 5 of her runners being winners including stakesplaced Tchaikovsky (Group placed at 2) and Smirnova (3rd Darby Munro Stakes, L. to Mazu) and Three Votes (5 city wins).

Her yearlings have sold up to $1,300,000.

Ballet Blue is by leading broodmare sire Stravinsky, damsire of 81 stakeswinners & 14 G1 winners including Lankan Rupee, Russian Revolution and Mosheen. Ballet Blue is a half-sister to 3 SWs with 19 wins between them.

She sells in foal on an early cover to Hitotsu (by Maurice), the first horse since 1994 to complete the Victoria Derby/Australian Guineas/Australian Derby treble, winning all three Group 1 Classics in succession.
