Description
If you seek a good looking filly who can win a maiden, breed a nice foal and offer pedigree upside – then you have to consider BRAVE SAILOR.
BRAVE SAILOR is a very good looking 3yo filly by MERCHANT NAVY. She has great depth to her with a strong hip, good action, attractive head and good conformation. Retained to race by her breeder – she was a cracking yearling who would have sold extremely well if she graced a sales ring.
A slow burner on the track – BRAVE SAILOR was given time to get over muscle soreness through her 2yo year and has been given further time as a 3yo to furnish. She looks best placed outside of Sydney grade and with the yearling sales approaching – the breeder has decided to sell unreserved.
BRAVE SAILOR is also a half-sister to BLAZE A TRAIL – a son of CRITERION who has won 3 of his last 7 starts including the Mildura Cup and is knocking on the door for black type for the Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace stable.
