Description
Star Ferry is a three-year-old filly by Ocean Park from the Danasinga mare Chorus, making this filly a half sister to the Stakes placed Symphonic – dam of dual Group 1 winner ORCHESTRAL. Her other half relations include Glee (O’Reilly) – dam of NZ Group 3 winner Savaglee and Stakes placed Tralee Chorus, while her full brother Thrum is a four-time winner as well. Her star-studded family also contains Group 1 winners Aegon, Daffodil and Atishu and her sire Ocean Park had one mare go through the recent Magic Millions Broodmare Sale which sold for $160,000.
Star Ferry was purchased for $100,000 from the 2022 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale and has raced four times for one second, which was a runner up finish in a 2000m maiden at Moe two starts ago. She is in full work, having last raced on 3 June 2024 and is poised to break her maiden. She represents a terrific opportunity for any breeder to buy into a deep New Zealand family and has the potential to win multiple races for her new owners before heading to the breeding barn as well. She has no vices and is easy to work with.
