Description

Undefeated in 2 starts ! Gee - this magnificent looking mare could run ! Big, Strong, Athletic and Correct to the eye, she will undoubtedly produce spectacular looking foals.

A fabulous looking filly which we paid $130,000 to secure her as a yearling at the sales, sadly her time has come to be retired from racing.

As a young horse she received an injury in an early training mishap that would plague her throughout her racing endeavours. We could have kept going – kept patching her up ….. but why?

She is such a lovely mare and has such a great nature she deserves an early and gratifying racing retirement where she can develop into the excellent mother we all predict she will ultimately become.

We will be certainly keen to inspect her future foals.

Bred in the purple her own 3rd Dam is the sensational FANFRELUCHE (by Northern Dancer).

We would retain her ourselves if the opportunity presented however our business model is to offer all our horses for unreserved sale at public auction to dissolve the co-ownership. So here she is for your consideration.
