Description

Height - 16hh

An outstanding type and a $1 million yearling, Queen’s Fashion is a proven winning producer from an impeccable black type family. A three-time winner, and city place getter herself, she is out of the multiple Group winning, and outstanding Hong Kong performer ELEGANT FASHION, making her a half-sister to three stakes performers including the stakes winning and Group 1 placed STAR FASHION (covered last season by DUNDEEL). In turn Queen’s Fashion is also closely related to Group 1 winner NIMALEE who realised $3.6 million at the 2023 Inglis Chairman’s sale and is currently in foal to SNITZEL, giving this pedigree huge upside and scope to keep improving.

A proven and commercial producer, Queen’s Fashion has had five foals to race for four winners, including the talented five-time winner Edinburgh. Her yearlings have sold up to $270,000 and recently at the 2023 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale, her colt by Written By was purchased by James Harron for $240,000. Since named Buckingham Palace, he is stabled with the powerful Waterhouse/Bott team and just last week he was seen finishing a narrow 2nd in a Randwick Trial indicating he is not far off winning races.

Queen’s Fashion was found NOT to be in foal at a routine foetal scan carried out earlier this year. Nothing untoward was found and she has been given a clean bill of health. She would make the perfect addition to anyone’s broodmare band or someone looking to purchase a proven mare with the ability to throw a nice, commercial type and can be bred to a stallion of choice as soon as the breeding season commences in September.
