Description

IFFRAAJ mare from a family rich in black type & In-foal to RUBICK!

OUR ESSENCE is a granddaughter of Queen of the Turf winner THE PERFUME GARDEN, and out of a sibling to no less than 3 black-type horses, including the dam of Gr,2 winner SKY BOY.

IFFRAAJ is emerging as an outstanding broodmare sire - the damsire of 27 individual stakes winners, highlighted by the likes of 14-time Gr.1 winner MELODY BELLE.

Covering sire RUBICK in one of the hottest sires in Australia. Champions SNITZEL and I AM INVINCIBLE are the ONLY active sires at stud with more 3yo earnings and stakes winners than RUBICK this season. He is the sire of dual Gr.1 winner JACQUINOT and Everest winner YES YES YES.

Rubick produces 33% city winners to runners when nicking with Firmity’s grandsire LAST TYCOON, highlighted by the success of Gr.2 winner SHADES OF ROSE and 3-time stakes placegetter KRAMERIC.

Superstar RUBICK stands for $27,500 and presents with massive upside, thanks to big numbers coming through the ranks.

Buying a well-related mare in-foal to RUBICK would be a wise move for any breeder!
