Description

Affectionate is a winning daughter of SEBRING being offered carrying her first foal to one of Australia’s most emergent stallions, TASSORT.

TASSORT has stamped himself as a sire of the future, producing a Group 1 winning 2YO in his first crop with MANAAL taking out the G1 ATC Sires’, alongside stakes performers AMEENA & AD ASTRA. Affectionate is a young, running mare with a profile which so many buyers in the yearling market are eager to engage with. Given TASSORT’s service fee has risen to $35,000 + GST in 2024, this lot presents enormous value for the eventual purchaser. TASSORT has the benefit of a powerful Newgate Farm & Emirates Park Syndicate behind him, the latter of which have provided strong support through his 2nd and 3rd years at stud. In purchasing this mare in foal in his 4th season, you’ll be the beneficiary. In those crops, he covered the likes of:

MOSSFUN (Golden Slipper winner & stakes producer)

ENTHAAR (Multiple 2YO stakes winner)

TUMOOH (dam of Bodyguard)

LIWA (multiple stakes winner on her first pregnancy)

Furthermore, this mare represents one of the most interesting and considered matings Tassort was involved in last season. Critically, the resulting foal will be in-bred 4x4 to LA BARAKA – an elite 3YO G1 winner who is responsible for ALIZES and in turn ESSAOUIRA, ASTERN & of course Tassort himself. This notion of inbreeding to superior females is a tried, tested and wildly celebrated approach to breeding which makes this lot a very interesting offering indeed. Affectionate offers a quality physical presence, racetrack aptitude, a family which is among the Australian Stud Book’s finest and a mating to match.

Despite his relative youth among broodmare sires, SEBRING has already made his impact felt. His daughters have produced two individual Group 1 winners in GRIFF & ON THE BUBBLES and he’s poised to grow that legacy further through the likes of NETTOYER, FANGIRL & BRING ME THE MAID – a demonstration of the quality of female offspring he’s produced and who will represent him at stud into the future.

This mare is a quality type and stands 16hh. She does not wear shoes and is uncomplicated reproductively and to deal with. For further information please contact 0487286532
