Description

QUEEN OEDIPUS

QUEEN OEDIPUS is a lovely sweet mare by the great STRAVINSKY and has a pedigree full of international stakes winning horses. Her dam IMPROVISTE is a half-sister to the stakes winning VAUGELY MODEST who is the dam of G1 ATC Flight Stakes winner DANARANI who won close to $450,000 and won or placed in an exceptional 8x stakes races!

QUEEN OEDIPUS’ second dam also includes Champion 2yo in Australia in 2021-2022 in that of FIREBURN who has won 6x, including a superb win in the G1 ATC Golden Slipper and G1 Sires’ Produce Stakes amongst a plethora of further Group races.

QUEEN OEDIPUS is the dam of three named foals, all to have raced. She has a stunning SO YOU THINK 2yo filly in training with Tony and Calvin McEvoy and she looks to be a quality 3yo in the making.

QUEEN OEDIPUS’ 2022 foal is a ripper chestnut colt by the great STARSPANGLEDBANNER. As you can see from the photos he is beautifully put together and the mare loves to throw some bling!

QUEEN OEDIPUS is for sale as her owners are downsizing their racing and breeding stock portfolio. She was not served last year, so is ready to go for lovely early cover this breeding season.

QUEEN OEDIPUS stands at 15.2hh and is a star to deal with and a wonderful mother. She gets on well with other mares, is brilliant to handle and is sensible to deal with. Despite her size, she does throw plenty of quality and height into her foals, with her SO YOU THINK 2yo filly standing at 16.1hh.
