Description

Superbly bred, in foal to Zousain

A wonderfully put together mare, with a pedigree to boot. Lirismo is an attractive, correct daughter of the sensational Lope De Vega, who is having a huge impact on the global bloodstock industry. He’s already the broodmare sire of two top class group winning 2yos in Europe, and is destined to become an elite broodmare sire.

Lirismo is superbly bred, being a half sister to two outstanding stakes winners; The Candy Man, a Group Three winner with earnings over $500,000 and Phrases, a Listed winner also with earnings over $500,000. Not only does this mare boast a strong black type pedigree, she is completely free of Danehill and a great outcross in Australia.

She is being sold in foal to one of the most talked about young sires in the country now, ZOUSAIN. An incredibly well performed son of champion elect Zoustar, Zousain was a Group Two winning juvenile and rather unluckily was beaten less than half a length in three Group ones (twice behind The Autumn Sun and once behind Sunlight!) Zousain has been a hit with breeders ever since stepping foot into the illustrious Widden stallion barn, covering close to 600 mares in three seasons at stud! His progeny have quality, presence and strength. It’s not hard to see why they were in such demand at the recent Gold Coast sale, with his first crop selling up to $650,000 and averaging $220,000!
