Description
A Brilliant Idea is a very well-bred Afleet Alex mare out of the US Group placed mare Rutledge Ballado.
A Brilliant Idea was a stakes winner in the United States and has been a great producer, producing five foals to race for five winners. All foals have been offered at Select Yearling Sales and have sold for up to $300,000. She was a winner over a mile and recent Group 1 winners out of mares that have won over a mile include Marabi, She’s Extreme, Sunshine In Paris, Montefilia etc.
She has a deep pedigree, being a close relation to four stakes horses and coming from a family littered with US black type horses, making her a perfect outcross for most Australian sires as she is completely Danehill free. US bred mares have been responsible for producing the likes of Russian Revolution, Wild Ruler and Golden Sixty!
A fantastic opportunity to buy a top-class broodmare with an international pedigree!
