Description
LOVE OF LIBERTY
Quality tax mare – Dam of G1 winner ELLSBERG!
LOVE OF LIBERTY is a quality broodmare being the dam of G1 ATC Epsom Handicap winner ELLSBERG (by SPILL THE BEANS). ELLSBERG is a 9-time winner earning over $3.3 million on the track and generating a Timeform Rating of 121.
A particularly sound horse, ELLSBERG was a debut winner as a 3yo, placed in a G3 and came into his own as a 4 and 5yo where he won 4x stakes races; including his G1 Epsom, the G3 Festival Stakes, G3 Liverpool City Cup and the Listed South Pacific Classic. A stunning physical specimen, he is the most expensive SPILL THE BEANS yearling ever sold, making $280,000 at the Magic Millions Gold Coast sale.
LOVE OF LIBERTY throws quality types with ELLSBERG’s full brother FREE CHOICE making $160,000 as a yearling and her DIVINE PROPHET selling for $200,000 at the 2yo’s in training sale.
LOVE OF LIBERTY is by the great GENERAL NEDIYM who is a prominent broodmare sire, having produced G1 stars JAMEKA, HEY DOC, MR QUICKIE, I AM EXCITED and LASQUETI SPIRIT amongst many others.
This mare is a 3-time winner herself and is a full-sister to the G3 Colonel Reeves Stakes winner and G2 Winterbottom Stakes placed ELECTRIC GENERAL.
LOVE OF LIBERTY is currently in foal to Champion Queensland sire SPIRIT OF BOOM who to date has sired 20 individual stakes winners including JONKER, PRINCE OF BOOM, BOOMSARA, DE SONIC BOOM, EF TROOP, OUTBACK BARBIE and more.
This exact cross (SPIRIT OF BOOM over GENERAL NEDIYM mares) has produced 4 stakes horses to date including OUTBACK BARBIE, HONEY POT, BOOM DADDY and THE BRUMBY and has resulted in 70% winners to runners.
