Description

AERIAL BAY is an attractive daughter of JUSTIFY out of the EXCEED AND EXCEL mare EXCELSIOR ISLAND.

AERIAL BAY is a lightly raced 4yo mare, having had 12 starts for a win and 3 minor placings: including 2 at metropolitan level.

She is a good-sized mare, with a great nature and is easy to handle both on the ground and under saddle. She stands 16.1hh and weighs 480kgs

She is a horse that still has plenty of upside and she may also benefit from a smaller stable environment and change of scenery.

She was last seen racing at Dalby on the 3rd June, and had been sent to the paddock straight after this run. She could come straight back in to work and continue to race or be retired to stud to take advantage of the upcoming breeding season.

Her ½ sister by Street Boss, sold as a weanling for $140,000, and she also has a 2yo ½ sister by Blue Point that is yet to race.

She is being sold to dissolve the owner’s current partnership.

Embargoes: No embargoes as of the 4th of June 2025

Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.
