Description

A Genuine Group 1 ability mare – she was one of the best of her generation – she won at 1400m 2nd up and arguable should have won a Group 3 and ran very bravely in the Group 1 NZ oaks where not the best of luck

She was good in the Sydney Oaks then was freshened up to run in the Group 2 Roses where she was beaten just 1 length where she had no luck

She backed that performance up to be beaten 1 length again to run 3rd in the Group 1 QLD OAKS- where there is no doubt she should have won the race behind Gypsy Goddess and Barb Raider- unfortunately she had a minor foot abcess the 10 days prior to running and missed a crucial gallop otherwise she should have won

 

She then resumed in the Group 3 race at Newcastle- heavily backed and again was unlucky

 

She was being set for the Caulfield Cup as she was a genuine Group 1 ability horse but unfortunately has strained a tendon and whilst she can genuinely race on she is being sold prior to the breeding season

 

Kris Lees Comments “ from the moment she came into the stable she showed us she was Group 1 level and not just a Group 1 horse in her own age division- I have no doubt if she stayed sound she would have won at least a Group 2 open age race. Whilst she was bred to be a stayer she actually had a very good turn of foot and she was one of the most ‘game” horses I have trained as she was whole hearted in everything she did – she will make a fine broodmare
