Description
Lovely athletic mare that made $170k as a yearling and backed it up with a speedy career on the track. She was 2nd in town on three occasions and 5th beaten only 1,5L in Bm78 at Sandown.
A Helmet mare, her grandsire is Exceed & Excel who is consistently top 3 broodmare sire.
She is half to two stakes performs with two more unlucky not to get black type. So its a strong female line. With the likes of Keeper, Metal Bender, Sweet Ride and rising stallion North Pacific all hailing from the 3rd Dam. A terrific black type family.
Foundation set with fillies by Magnus and Nicconi on the ground. She missed in 22 but has a Written By weanling and now in foal to under the radar sire in Artorius.
Artorius won the Blue Diamond in dominant fashion (defeating Anamoe) and trained on to become a multiple group 1 winner and was placed 4th or better in high class, sire making Gr1 races like the Platinum Jubilee, July Cup, Coolmore Stud Stakes, Caulfield Guineas, George Ryder, Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Cup and Golden Rose. He is a lovely physical specimen as you'd expect being bought by the Freedman's as a yearling.
As blue diamond winner you can expect early two runners and if gets a decent first crop winner the demand for his second crop yearlings would be huge.
Mare is easy to do anything with.
