Description

This attractive winning daughter of Oratorio (AUS) is sure to hold some appeal. Out of the 10 times winning and stakes performed Palace Alice (by Palace Music), she is a half to 6 winners, including the very talented 11-time winning Lords Ransom (by Jeune), a twice Gr 2 winner (including the Perth Cup) and multiple stakes winner of some $869,000 in stakes. She is also a full sister to Palace Intruder who won twice as a two-year-old and went on to win the Listed Aquanita Stakes as a three-year-old.

Castle Keep is being sold with colt by Safeguard, who has continued to maintain an excellent strike rate from small crops. He currently has produced 65.7% winners to runner and 11.7% stake performers to runners including BUZZOOM, winner of the Listed Burgess Queen Stakes (1400m) and second in the Gr2 Champion Fillies (1600m) as well as Stay Safe who was second in both the Listed Fairetha Stakes (1400m) and Gr2 WA Guineas (1600m), just behind the very talented Treasured Star.

She is in foal to Rommel, the former leading first season sire and 2yo sire in Western Australia who has continued to excite trainers and owners with his juveniles and his three year old’s as they head towards the classics.

This package is being sold to dissolve a partnership.
