Description
OUTSTANDING INTERNATIONAL PEDIGREE
• Very rare opportunity to buy a granddaughter of SUNDAY SILENCE
• Her grandam is dual G1 Champion 2yo filly STORM SONG
• Closely related to international superstar ORDER OF ST GEORGE
• A superstar in Singapore, BETTER LIFE was Champion Miler & Stayer as a 3yo and the following year took out Champion 4yo & Stayer. This mare's Singapore race record was very impressive
• Her progeny are showing good promise, 3 out of her 4 foals to the track are WINNERS including exciting 3yo Starboard (by Astern) who has had a win and two placings from his first 3 starts
• Better Life is a neat, well balanced mare with medium bone and stands approx 15.3 hh. She had not been served this season.
• Her feet are a little thin walled, however she has been easily managed with front shoes and is paddock sound.
• Being offered for sale with an attractive filly born 7/9/23 by champion stallion NICCONI - who has an outstanding career strike rate with over 73% winners to runners.
This package is a great 2in1 opportunity that allows the purchaser to join the mare to the stallion of their choosing while having a nice head start with the Nicconi filly that they can either keep and race or put through a sale.
Inspections welcome.
