Description
4-time winning daughter of LOPE DE VEGA, in-foal to I AM IMMORTAL! CRUZ DE VEGA is the dam of talented 2yo winner IT’SMEMARIO, a young son of BRAVE SMASH with a bright future. She also presents with the upside of an outstanding type by HIGHLAND REEL. This mare is out of a sister to Gr.1 winner CANDY DOLL; her dam CUCHURITA herself was 4th in a Group 1. The family has incredible depth with black type flooding the 2nd and 3rd dams. LOPE DE VEGA is the young broodmare sire of 11 individual Stakes winners and will continue to have an impact on the Australian breeding scene for the years to come. He is the prolific sire of Australian Group 1 winners Sanata Ana Lane, Lucky Vega and Gytrash. Covering sire I AM IMMORTAL has enjoyed an immediate impact at stud, siring a first crop winner in the first couple of weeks of 2024. Stokes Racing’s I AM VELVET looks a serious filly with plenty of improvement to come out of her debut victory. I AM IMMORTAL was very well received by the breeders in 2023 receiving a book of 120 mares. This mare presents as a goldne opportunity to purchase an unreserved mare in foal to a rising star.
