Description

Taken The Road is a 17 yo broodmare who so far has produced 3 named and 2 unnamed foals

She won $111.000 from 58 starts - 6-8-5 - 4 of the wins were at Morphettville

She was a tough racemare and in one of her preps had 18 starts - she raced from 2008 to 2013

Taken The Road is easy to get infoal. She had been bred sparingly as it is the Tosca Farm philosophy to generally only breed every other year to avoid transporting newborn foals around the country as the mare visits stallions

Ambertone won $98k having 4 wins (1 at Morphettvile) and 9 placings

Little Nas sold for $85k Adelaide MM '18 - sadly a paddock accident resulted in his death prior to a race start

Maja had 2 starts before injury ended her racing career. She did however win a barrier trial at Strathalbyn by 12 lengths

She currently has an unnamed 2yo Boomtime Gelding who is in training with Shane Oxlade

All her foals are strong and correct and the foal being offered at foot is no exception

He is a very nice colt by Sir Prancealot and has a great hind quarter and lovely head

He will mature into a very nice yearling with good balance and strength
