Description
RACING & BREEDING PROSPECT
2 x winner and 8 x placed daughter of El Roca and half-sister to Stakes Placed HASSTOBEGOOD, Hesitate is a lovely mare that is ready to take the next step in her career in the breeding barn.
PARADE VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/994280130?share=copy
Alternatively she can continue racing and potentially in an easier jurisdiction, she can add more wins to her record
Hesitate has always been a very consistent mare and arguably deserves more wins on her record had she had better luck in running. She won at BM64 level in Victoria and has been very consistent in this grade throughout her career.
PEDIGREE:
Hesitate is by the son of Fastnet Rock in El Roca and out of good producing mare Don't Dilly Dally who had only 3 foals to race, all winners including the Stakes Placed Hasstobegood who sold this year at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale for 220k in foal to Hellbent to Daandine Stud/Boomer Bloodstock.
Don't Dilly Dally is a daughter of Joint NZ Filly of the Year in Gr1 NZ Thousand Guineas winner PLUME making her a half-sister to Stakes Placed Mount Kosciusko and the dam of another Gr1 winner in MAC O'REILLY and Stakes Placed Mrs Gardenia and Gris Dame.
Hesitate will make a fine broodmare. She stands at approximately 16.1hh and is a roomy, attractive type with great overall substance.
Available for inspection by appointment.
