Description

Special Mission has already thrown a multiple stakes-winner, Redouble, who has amassed in excess of $1.5 million in stakes earnings. She leaves very commercial foals - her last yearling to sell realised $180,000 at the Melbourne Premier Sale.

She has been extremely well mated throughout her entire breeding career and still has a written Tycoon filly and a Shamus Award weanling colt to come through. She got in foal on her first cover to Shamus Award when she was last served in 2021. Unfortunately it was a late cover due to the fact that she had been in the Hunter Valley earlier in the season to be covered by a stallion that was not achieving the desired result so she was brought back to Victoria to be covered by Rosemont’s Shamus Ward. Given the late cover in 2021, the mare was given the year off in 2022 to line her up for an early September cover this year.

Special Mission was a Group 1 winner of the New Zealand Thoroughbred Stakes.

Special Mission has been a great producer over the years and leaves good sales type foals. She is 15.1HH

This is a genuine sale and is offered unreserved. The owner/breeder has retained 4 of her foals to race over the years. The owner/breeder’s farm has recently been sold and they are now reducing their bloodstock accordingly.
