Description

FRENCH FIELDS is a lovely, solid 4yo mare by exciting sire DEEP FIELD out of the Rock of Gibraltar mare GOONIWIGGAL. FRENCH FIELDS is a lovely big roomy mare and a good looking physical. As evidenced by her quality, she was a $200,000 Melbourne Premier yearling.

She is by Newgate Farm’s quality speed stallion DEEP FIELD, who currently stands for $88,000 this season. To date he has sired 12 individual stakes winners including G1 Oakleigh Plate winner PORTLAND SKY as well as the G2 winners DIG DEEP, XILONG, QUANTUM MECHANIC, CHAT and COSMIC FORCE who now stands alongside his father at Newgate.

FRENCH FIELDS is lightly raced, having won her maiden just at the end of October, so this mare is sound and race fit, and is being sold by her owners to make way for their younger team of horses coming through the ranks. She would suit a smaller, country trainer to get the best out of her.

This mare’s winning dam GOONIWIGGAL was a stunning $300,000 yearling that has gone on to produce the stakes placed GENIUS (by ONEMORENOMORE) and from her seven named foals she has had five to race, ALL are winners.

A speed family, this mare’s grand dam is a half-sister to three-time G3 winner CHONG TONG who placed third in the G1 VRC Lightning Stakes and fourth in the G1 VRC Newmarket Handicap. The pedigree has an international flavour, including winners in Singapore, South Africa and further Australian stakes winners MIGHTY SUPREMO, AVATAR and HOUR OF PERIL.

In the mould of her sire, FRENCH FIELDS is well muscled, has a strong hind quarter and shoulder, a deep girth and a gorgeous head with a kind eye. FRENCH FIELDS weighs in at 515kg in full work. She is currently spelling at Angaston and ready to go on with.
