Description

Attractive winning daughter of Orartorio (AUS) out of the 10 times winning and stakes performed Palace Alice (by Palace Music). She is a half to six winners, including the 2 x G2 winner Lords Ransom (Jeune) an 11 X winning and multiple stakes winner with $869,000 in prizemoney. Her full sister Palace Intruder, winner of 4 races, won twice as a 2yo and went on to win the Listed Aquanita Stakes at 3

Her second foal, All Show, was and exciting filly who showed an electrifying turn of foot coming from the rear and placing second at her first start at 2 at Ascot WA, only beaten by the extremely talented colt in Snowdome. Winning first up as a 3yo, All Show headed into the spring as a top contender in the Placid Ark stakes, placing 2nd in the prelude before becoming plagued by illness.

Her third foal, All Play ( Playing God) a $110K purchase and a winner first up as an early 3yo.

She has a 2yo in work with Trevor Andrews and her yearling filly by Rommel has been privately sold and is returning to WA to race for the lucrative WestSpeed scheme.

Castle Keep has an early cover to Dirty Work, his first foals have been hugely popular amongst leading trainers with yearlings selling up to $260K from his first crop and his weanlings have continued selling strongly again at the recent Australian Weanling sale. Due to the current ownership residing in both WA and VIC, the resulting foal is eligible for both the WestSpeed and Vobis bonus schemes

Castle Keep is approximately 15.3hh, a very easy mare to manage, vet crush, float and great with her foals and in the paddock.
