Description

Childhood Secret is a lovely, strong and correct mare by outstanding broodmare sire Charge Forward (sire of the dams of two Golden Slipper winners).

She is correct, very powerful and stands approx 15.2hh.

She has a lovely yearling Pierata filly who was bought by leading trainer Gary Portelli who said that the filly reminded him of his former Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign on type! (Who is also out of a Charge Forward mare)

Her weanling filly by Anders is a very strong, precocious type and will be offered for sale at the upcoming Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.

Childhood Secret is offered in foal to the very fast Gr 1 winner Portland Sky (son of Deep Field) who covered his first book of mares at Widden Stud at a fee of $27,500 Inc.

Childhood Secret has a great temperament and is easy to do anything with. She throws her temperament into her progeny. She is a genuinely easy and trouble free mare.

She is being offered for genuine sale to dissolve a partnership.

Vet certificate to be uploaded on Sunday.
