VELOURS BLEU
5yo br mare by Nicconi x National Velvet
16.1hh, Good-Looking, Hugely Commercial, Active Family and in foal to G1 Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside..
A $120,000 weanling purchase by renowned judge James Bester and also an Inglis Easter Yearling graduate. Velours Bleu is an exceptional looking, 2-time winner from 1200m and daughter of Nicconi – sire of World Champion Sprinter Nature Strip and G1 winner Graceful Girl – a $1,100,000 purchase to the bid of Widden Stud at this year’s Inglis Chairman’s Broodmare Sale.
Pedigree upside..
- Velours Bleu is a half-sister to The Fortune Teller – winner of the G3 Carbine Club Stakes as a 3YO. The lightly raced 4YO has amassed over $356,000 in prizemoney and is currently being targeted at early Autumn Stakes races
- Other siblings include a filly by Maurice who was purchased for $400,000 in 2023 as a weanling at the Inglis Great Southern Sale – the highest priced weanling offered by the sire and 2nd highest unnamed filly
- Her dam was covered by Dundeel in the 2023 breeding season – sire G1 winning 2YOs of Militarize & Castelvecchio, as well as the likes of Super Seth, Hope In Your Heart, Victoria Quary etc
Offered in foal to Stay Inside who defeated the likes of subsequent G1 winners Anamoe, Home Affairs, Captivant, Artorius etc when winning the G1 Golden Slipper
From few runners, Nicconi is broodmare sire of recent G1 Sir Rupert Clarke winner MAGIC TIME and Stakes Winner A VERY FINE RED
Her maternal grandsire, Commands, is broodmare sire of 41 Stakes winners including high-class 2YOs Captivant (G1 Champagne Stakes winner), Cosmic Force, Swift Witness etc
Velours Bleu is a strong, scopey mare with loads of quality. She is a beautiful dark colour which will pass onto her progeny. She is easy to handle. The mating with Stay Inside is ideal both physcially and on pedigree. She has been seen to very occasionally windsuck when stabled but never in the paddock.
