Preg CertDescription
Cross Cave (15.3 HH) is a well-related, good-producing daughter of European Sire, RAIL LINK.
She is out of the multiple Stakes winning and G3 placed ALZAO mare, VALENTINE GIRL. Valentine Girl is a half-sister to the dam of Australian G1 winner STAND TO GAIN.
As a producer, Cross Cave is the dam of one foal to race, for one winner. Dress, her winning daughter, is by recent G1 J.J Atkins winning sire, KINGMAN.
Recently, Cross Cave has had some great sales-producing success which has seen her progeny land in some of the best stables in Australia.
Her son, by Grunt, was purchased for $220,000 by Busuttin Racing, All Winners and Golden River at the 2022 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. An attractive prospect, he sold for over double the sale median at Inglis Classic that year.
Yulong Stud has retained the 2022 Colt by Grunt and is offering Cross Cave back in foal to the dual G1-winning son of O’REILLY.
Since the 19th of June, Grunt has had 2 individual trail winners and has a foal crop of over 140 turning 3 this Spring.
