Description
Being sold as a breeding prospect only.
Contessa is a 5yo Mare by Headwater who has raced on 19 occasions for 2 wins and 8 minor placings. She is a mare that took some time to mature mentally and physically early in her career. She has developed into a nice strong type and she has been a consistent galloper for her owners.
She has all the attributes to develop into a beautiful broodmare. She is a daughter of Headwater who was the leading First Season Sire by Winners (equal) in 2019-20 season and Champion Second Season Sire in 2020-21. Headwater was bred for speed being by the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap winner and elite stallion Exceed And Excel, out of Group 1 Oakleigh Plate winner River Dove. Headwater won on debut as an early 2 year old before winning the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes. Contessa is the first foal out of Charge Forward mare Swaane, a half-sister to Blacktype winner and multiple Stakes placegetter Jessy Belle. Swaane is the dam of 2 foals to race and both are winners. She produced a now 2 year old colt by last season’s Champion First Season Sire Russian Revolution.
She will be sold unreserved.
Whilst all efforts are made to disclose previous issues, we take no liability after the sale and suggest you do independent vetting if required.
