Description

Metro winning mare who’s first named foal is the exciting Stakes placed 2YO filly APACHE SONG.

FOR A SONG placed in the VOBIS Gold Plate as a juvenile before going on to record 4 wins and a further 8 placings from just 23 starts, inc. a Caulfield victory over 1100m and multiple placings at Sandown & Moonee Valley from 1000-1200m.

This is a precocious family, FOR A SONG’s dam SHE’S ON SONG was a 2-time winner at 2 and is a half-sister to three Stakes Horses who all performed as juveniles – ROMANTIC FLYER (2yo winner & Group 3 placed in both the Blue Diamond Preview & Prelude), MATRILINEAL (Stakes placed at 2 in Blue Diamond Prelude (G3), Debutante (L) and Maribyrnong (L)) and MR BOSSINI (Winner at 2 and Group 3 placed in ARC Eclipse).

2YO filly APACHE SONG ran second on debut in March 2023 behind MIRACLE GARDEN and defeating CHILL THE KRUG who subsequently placed in the Listed Anzac Stakes.

At just her second race start APACHE SONG was super impressive when runner-up (btn 0.75L) in the Listed Redoute’s Choice Stakes behind the unbeaten I Am Invincible colt I AM UNSTOPPABLE.

At her third and most recent start in April 2023 she jumped the $4.80 2nd favourite in the $1m VOBIS Showdown, when unlucky in running and featuring heavily in the stewards report.

APACHE SONG is a high class blacktype filly with tremendous upside.

FOR A SONG has an outstanding yearling colt by the Group winning 2yo son of I Am Invincible in I AM IMMORTAL. There is a paddock shot attached of the yearling colt who looks a fast early type.

Standing 16hh, FOR A SONG is a strong, well put together mare. She unfortunately missed last season and is therefore ready for an early 2023 cover.

She was fast metro winning racehorse herself and with her first live foal a stakes performing juvenile and her second live foal an outstanding type, she appears to have a big career ahead as a broodmare.

This mare is available for inspection by appointment.
