Description
Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a Broodmare Prospect who is a half-sister to three Stakes Winners! Added to this, SALIX comes from the same family as SOUTHPORT TYCOON, winner of the Group 1 Australian Guineas on the 2nd of March.
.
SALIX is a half-sister to eight winners – three of these are Stakes Winners, and another four are Metropolitan winners. That’s a total of seven out of eight of WILLOW’S winners have won on a Metropolitan track. That is rarefied air!!!
.
SALIX is a daughter of SOOBOOG (by SNITZEL), sire of over 100 winners (55.5% winners/starters) including the Group 2 winning filly BOOGIE DANCER.
.
SALIX’S damsire is WOODMAN, sire of 100 Stakes Winners, and an even better Broodmare Sire, with his daughters producing the winners of a staggering 500 Stakes Races, and over $400 million in earnings.
.
Two of SALIX’S half-sisters namely ALIFEROUS (2015) and OKALANI (2018) are both now owned by leading Australian farms in Glenlogan Park Stud and Yulong Stud. (they are closer than half-sisters, as both are by HINCHINBROOK, a half-brother to SNITZEL, the sire of SOOBOOG).
.
ALIFEROUS was purchased as a Broodmare Prospect in 2021 by Glenlogan for $475,000. She delivered an I AM INVINCIBLE colt in 2022 which unfortunately subsequently died. In 2023 she again produced an I AM INVINCIBLE colt. Steve Morley, Glenlogan’s Manager, described him as a “classy colt” who will be offered at either the 2025 Magic Millions Gold Coast January Yearling Sale or Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale. A 2024 mating is yet to be decided for ALIFEROUS, however, Steve indicated they once again plan to mate her to one of the best proven sires in Australia.
.
OKALANI was purchased as a Broodmare Prospect in 2023 by Yulong for $135,000. She is now safely in foal to PIERATA (due August). One would assume that Yulong will continue to mate OKALANI to one of the better stallions on their roster.
.
SALIX is a direct descendent of the breed’s greatest ever and most influential broodmares in LA TROIENNE (her 7th dam). In Australia, SALIX’S pre-potent family has produced many Black Type winners over the years including more recently Group 1 winners such as ARTORIUS, MAWINGO, DELECTATION, DUNKEL, with the most recent being SOUTHPORT TYCOON (2024 VRC Australian Guineas) on the 2nd of March.
.
Some of the other Champions to descend from SALIX’S family include famous names such as EASY GOER, BUCKPASSER (USA), ALLEZ FRANCE, CAERLEON (France), MOZART, ZOMAN (GB/IRE) and CONTRAIL (Japan).
.
Although her race record of being unplaced at her only start may not reflect it, SALIX clearly had racetrack ability. After winning her barrier trial at Muswellbrook on the 10th of January, she had her first and only start at Tuncurry over 1005m on the 29th of January, running a nice fifth on debut. Unfortunately, she pulled up sore over her back. We think she may have incurred this injury when jumping from the barriers, as she appeared to slip coming out of the gates and was a clear last as they got into stride. The vet diagnosed her with subluxation of her sacroiliac joint. Because of her age and the time, she would need off to recover, it was decided to retire SALIX from racing and offer her as a Broodmare Prospect. Her trainer Rod Northam said she never had an unsound day in her life with her legs. She also never showed any signs of bleeding or had any wind issues.
.
SALIX has been measured to stand 15.2hh. She is being offered for genuine sale and is unreserved. A breeding soundness certificate is attached.
.
Please Note: For pedigree buffs, SALIX’S damsire WOODMAN’s sixth dam is LA TROIENNE. WOODMAN’s dam PLAYMATE is a daughter of BUCKPASSER (his third dam is LA TROIENNE). Hence, SALIX has three “open lines” to the great mare.
