Description

There’s no waiting, you can go Racing !

Here is your opportunity to purchase multiple city winning mare, Sonora.

Sonora is currently in full work with Ciaron Maher at Warwick Farm, she was a dominant winner at Canterbury Park last start on the 9th of February and is nominated for Rosehill Gardens on the 28th of February. Alternatively, there is beautiful race for her at Warwick Farm on the 6th of March.

She would also be incredibly well suited in QLD, SA or VIC.

Sonora is a stunning mare, she’s very well conformed, she’s got a beautiful pedigree page and has been a terrific horse for her connections winning 5 from 20 and amassing $220,000+ in Prizemoney to date.

The lucky buyer is getting involved in a high quality racehorse that is ready to go on with the job this preparation. She’s only just reached her peak fitness and there is a plethora of race options coming up for her in the coming weeks.

Sonora also represents a terrific opportunity for the Savvy breeder that can continue to race over the Autumn months before having her ready for an early September cover. We have no doubt Sonora will leave a beautiful foal once her racing career is over and being a daughter of SO YOU THINK, makes her an ideal mating to most commercial Australian Stallions.

Based on Werk’s eNicks, Sonora would produce an A+++ pedigree rated foal with SNITZEL, BEST OF BORDEAUX & JUSTIFY. She would produce an A++ pedigree rated foal with Pride Of Dubai, Maurice & Hitotsu. Whilst she would produce A rated matings with St Mark’s Basilica, Acrobat, The Autumn Sun etc.

Prior to the close of this auction, Sonora is available for your inspection by appointment. Whilst we shared the above details, we always recommend potential purchasers should arrange their own vet inspection to rely upon.

We look forward to seeing her in the Winner’s Circle in the near future.
