Description
WINNING, MULTIPLE-MELBOURNE PLACED (MRC), DAUGHTER OF CHAMPION ZOUSTAR. With racing upside.
Northern Melody presents as a strong commercial commodity, being a winner, with multiple city placings (MRC) to her CV already.
She has recently completed a nice long spell after an impressive eight start campaign in the Summer/Autumn and is now ready to resume training to earn more prizemoney and increase her residual value.
During Northern Melody's recent eight start preparation, she was highly competitive at metro level. She finished second at Sandown on 09/02/22 over 1000m to the A & S Freedman trained No Crying. Then on the 23/02/22, she finished third at Sandown to John McArdle trained Flemington Stakes Winner Tycoon Humma.
Northern Melody comes from an impeccable Blacktype family. Her dam Royal Scandal is a ¾ to stakes winner Mirage and a ½ sister to stakes winners Red Colossus and Nediym’s Glow.
Champion sire Zoustar is still too young to be a broodmare sire or runners yet but he follows in the great hoof steps of renowned Champion broodmare sire Encosta De Lago; damsire of 140 individual stakes winners including 17 Gr.1 winners.
½ relations to Northern Melody have sold for as much as $350,000, indicating the markets strong appetite for this family at yearling sales.
Contract Racing offers this horse under the rules of usual public auction.
The vendor makes no representation as to the current or future soundness of this horse, and you are welcome to arrange your own veterinary inspection prior to the completion of the auction.
