Description
DONDESKA represents a great opportunity to acquire talented race mare and a top-quality broodmare.
By Snitzel, Australia’s Champion sire of the last four years in a row, DONDESKA is a good-looking chestnut mare who has won two races from her four most recent starts. This mare will provide her new owner plenty of residual value as she is being offered as both a racing and breeding prospect.
DONDESKA is out of STAR OF SYDNEY who is a half-sister to Hong Kong Group 2 and Australian Group 3 winner NOT LISTENIN’TOME as well as the red hot first season sire INVADER – making DONDESKA a three-quarter sister in blood. INVADER was crowned Champion 2yo Colt in Australia after winning the Group 1 Sires Produce Stakes and the Group 2 Todman Stakes and placing second in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes.
DONDESKA’s dam STAR OF SYDNEY was a $470,000 broodmare purchase and has produced the stunning Fastnet Rock colt who recently sold at the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast sale for $650,000 to Aquis and Phoenix Thoroughbreds and will be given every chance.
There is plenty of upside in this pedigree as STAR OF SYDNEY has a 2020 colt by American Pharoah to go on with. DONDESKA also has a full brother, CROWN OF MELBOURNE in training with the Hayes and Darbernig team.
As a broodmare, DONDESKA has the pedigree to produce some quality progeny as she hails from a family that does particularly well in the sales ring. Combined with this, SNITZEL is starting to show serious promise as a broodmare sire, with Group 1 Golden Slipper winner MOSSFUN and the gun juvenile PROFITEER making his mark after winning last weekend’s Inglis 2yo Millennium.
DONDESKA has shown her aptitude for racing, having had 11 starts for 9 top five placings, indicating that she will no doubt provide substantial return on investment. She showed plenty of her tenacity in her latest win to defeat her rivals by 2.2L. To view the replay please click here:

DONDESKA’s December win also showed her grit on the track, where she was slow into stride and settled equal last off the pace and flew home to take out her maiden by a head. To view her maiden win please click here:
