Description

Nice opportunity to race and breed from a lovely 3yo daughter of Triple Crown winning stallion American Pharoah, the sire to date of 23 individual stakes winners including Group 1 winner Van Gogh as well as talented Australian raced 3yo Head of State (ATC Gloaming Stakes., Gr.3).

This lightly raced filly has only started 3 times and showed a lovely turn of foot when on debut running a slashing 4th over 1000m at Yarra Valley after missing the start hopelessly. This filly has always shown her trainer Peter Moody decent ability at home but is still mentally immature and just needs further time to mature.

A nice correct type this filly realised $200,000 as a weanling and has furnished into a strong athletic type with good length and scope. She is good to deal with in the stables and her only vices have been in racing, where she has required work jumping from the barriers and also displayed a tendency to over-race. Her trainer has worked diligently on this and she has shown marked improvement in this area.

Pedigree wise she is a nice future broodmare prospect. Her sire American Pharoah is a legend of USA racing winning the esteemed Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes) whilst her winning dam is by leading stallion High Chaparral.

This filly’s grand-dam Shania Dane was a terrific racemare winning twice at Group 2 level and placing 5 times at Group 1 level and earning over $800,000 in stakes winnings. This family has considerable quality and depth containing stakes winners Scintillation, Risk Aversion, Northwest Passage, Order of the Sun, Beauty, Get to Work and champion NZ 2yo and Group 1 winner Summer Passage.

The filly comes with a vet and breeding certificate and as she raced yesterday is in full work and can continue her preparation if that is desired

She has just been moved to Briarwood Farm and can be viewed if required (strictly by appointment).

Weight: 456kg

Height: Approx. 15.3 hh
