Description
Readings was a well-performed racemare winning 4 races for David Hayes – 2 of them at Moonee Valley – and was stakesplaced in the Listed Moonee Valley Night Cup.
This mare is a daughter of Dansili’s Gr1-winning full brother Cacique, sire of 3 Gr1 winners from just 125 runners including Hong Kong vase winner Dominant. Cacique is now the damsire of Group winners Gallic Chieftain and Aladdine.
Readings is a half-sister to 2 winners and out of Gr1-placed French SW Erudite, a half-sister to 3 Group winners – Vortex, Prove & Danefair. This is a quality European family mostly fostered by Juddmonte which has produced Gr1 winners Harlem, Ventura, Emblem Road, Queen Supreme, Persuasive, Creative Force and Epoca d’Oro, all descended from Newmarket Champion Stakes winner Cairn Rouge.
This mare has produced two winners to date, Light Up My World and The Kings Gospel (a winner of 3 of his 5 most recent starts this season). Yearlings produced by Readings have sold for up to $155,000.
Readings has plenty happening for her with offspring including a Shalaa 2yo filly with Brad Widdup and a yearling filly by Champion 2yo and Cox Plate runner-up Castelvecchio.
She sells with a positive test on an early September cover to A$6.6m earner Admire Mars, a triple Gr1-winning miler, Champion 2YO of Japan and the only 3YO winner of the Hong Kong Mile.
The prospective foal is bred on the highly successful nick of Dundeel over Danehill-line mares which has already produced 4 Group winners including Gr1 winners Super Seth (Caulfield Guineas) and Atyaab (Kenilworth Cape Derby).
