Description
Blackfish
Maiden Filly by Zousain – From the Elite Family of Merchant Navy & Paulele!
Blackfish is a lightly raced 3-year-old filly by Zousain, with eight career starts to date and three placings on the board. She recently resumed from a freshen-up at Pakenham on 2 June and looks well on track to break her maiden in the near future.
She is by Zousain — sire of promising performers such as Drifting, Amelita, and Bellazaine. Her dam, Splendido (by Stratum), is a three-quarter sister to Group 1 winner Bonaria and a half-sister to Legally Bay (dam of Merchant Navy, Jolie Bay, Setanta), Time Out, and Chatoyant (dam of Paulele, Montsegur, and Tessera), making her pedigree highly desirable for future breeding prospects.
Offered for sale to dissolve a large ownership group, Blackfish presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to race in a less competitive jurisdiction, where she should prove highly effective and hold residual value as a broodmare down the line.
