Description
Metro winning mare who’s first named foal is the exciting Stakes placed juvenile filly APACHE SONG.
FOR A SONG placed in the VOBIS Gold Plate as a juvenile before going on to record 4 wins and a further 8 placings from just 23 starts, inc. a Caulfield victory over 1100m and multiple placings at Sandown & Moonee Valley from 1000-1200m.
This is a precocious family, FOR A SONG’s dam SHE’S ON SONG was a 2-time winner at 2 and is a half-sister to three Stakes Horses who all performed as juveniles – ROMANTIC FLYER (2yo winner & Group 3 placed in both the Blue Diamond Preview & Prelude), MATRILINEAL (Stakes placed at 2 in Blue Diamond Prelude (G3), Debutante (L) and Maribyrnong (L)) and MR BOSSINI (Winner at 2 and Group 3 placed in ARC Eclipse).
As a 2YO filly APACHE SONG ran second on debut in March 2023 behind MIRACLE GARDEN and defeating CHILL THE KRUG who subsequently placed in the Listed Anzac Stakes.
At just her second race start APACHE SONG was super impressive when runner-up (btn 0.75L) in the Listed Redoute’s Choice Stakes behind star I Am Invincible colt I AM UNSTOPPABLE - a last start runner-up in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes.
At her third start in April 2023 she jumped the $4.80 2nd favourite in the $1m VOBIS Showdown, when unlucky in running and featuring heavily in the stewards report.
She resumed as a 3YO with a brilliant 6.5L maiden win, before enduring a luckless campaign in blacktype races, which included the Group 1 Thousand Guineas at her most recent start in November 2023.
APACHE SONG is a high class blacktype filly with tremendous upside when she returns to the racetrack in 2024.
FOR A SONG has an outstanding 2YO colt by the Group winning 2yo son of I Am Invincible in I AM IMMORTAL, that has been broken in.
And she sells in foal to exciting young sire DIRTY WORK.
A fast Group winning son of Champion Sire WRITTEN TYCOON, DIRTY WORK was a track record holder & Group 1 placed sprinter.
His first crop yearlings averaged $140k at the recent 2024 Magic Millions January Sale (8 sold in Book 1) and have sold up to $260,000!
DIRTY WORK has averaged 124 mares per season (Covered 373) in three years at stud and stood for an advertised fee of $13,200 inc. GST in 2023.
Standing 16hh, FOR A SONG is a strong, well put together mare.
She was a fast metro winning racehorse herself and with her first live foal a stakes performing juvenile and her second live foal an outstanding type, she appears to have a big career ahead as a broodmare.
This mare is available for inspection by appointment.
