Description

16hh+

Very attractive, strong bodied broodmare with a very pleasant nature. Correct, good bone.

Cost $50k off the track as a maiden mare and now has four well bred fillies on the ground to run for her... the type of mare that could rise in value significantly if they perform on the racetrack in the coming couple of years. Plus add in the next point below to that...

Her siblings are currently in-foal to CAPTIVANT, STAY INSIDE, TOO DARN HOT and D'ARGENTO... whilst they already have foals on the ground to run for the family by CAPITALIST, SNITZEL, I AM INVINCIBLE, TOO DARN HOT, PREFERMENT and TASSORT, etc. - This family could explode with more black-type in the very near future.

Highly commercial broodmare if mated to the right stallion.

Full-sister to Gr.1 ATC Oaks winner GUST OF WIND... 2nd was WINX, the last time she was beaten.

3yo filly named PONDER THE STARS (By SO YOU THINK) is in training with Mitch Beer.

2yo filly by AKEED MOFEED is in training with Ricky Maund.

Yearling filly by IMPENDING is with Dwayne & Amanda Dunn

Weanling filly by DIRTY WORK is cataloged for the Inglis Sydney Weanling Sale.

Very fertile, has gone in foal on first cover each year.

Majority partner is elderly and reducing his stock, hence he didn't want to breed Betelgeuse in 2022 and she is now being offered for sale. The farm will be very sad to see her go as she is part of the furniture around here.
