Description

Buy now and watch your investment grow in value.

Bless The Stars is a daughter of hot young sire Better Than Ready and a full sister to exciting juvenile colt Already Blessed.

Already Blessed, who was purchased for $140,000 at the Ready To Run sales last year, was a smart all-the-way winner at Canterbury in May.

The youngster has finished in the placings three times from only five appearances for astute Sydney trainer Gary Portelli.

Bless The Stars is from the General Nediym mare Blessed Anna, whose only other runner is the Brisbane two-year-old winner Eskdale Girl.

This attractive bay three-year-old has been broken in and educated and given time to mature.

Bless The Stars will have residual value as broodmare when her racing days are finished.
