Description

Special Day is a lightly race 6 year old mare who has won $85,175 from just 23 starts. Priced with a realistic reserve, Special Day is in full work and will continue with her current fruitful preparation if the mare is unsold in this sale.

Since being trained as a stayer from mid May 2024, Special Day has won an impressive $43,625 in three months from just eight starts. In those eight starts she has one win, a second, four thirds and 2 fourths. Special Day is a supremely consistent staying mare who gives her all each and every start.

This staying prowess is even more attractive for a potential buyer when you consider Special Day is a BOBS Extra mare. As a result for a country staying race the prize money grows significantly to $19,575 or $26,175 for a provincial staying race. You could even take the opportunity to double up your BOBS extra bonus and in so doing you would win more than standard midweek metropolitan prize money at the provincials!

The provincials is still an extremely attractive sweet spot for Special Day. With a country benchmark of 60 and a provincial benchmark of 55 the mare will be well suited to carry on her consistency as a stayer at both of these levels with multiple opportunities available for success. This is reinforced as the horses who have beaten Special Day in the last three months have gone on to race a further 19 times. Six of these (33%) have been in metropolitan grade, while nine (47%) have been at provincial level. She was extremely competitive with them all.

Special Day is sound and well with the Perry stable backing her up on multiple occasions as the mare continues to bounce out of each and every run. With this and her upward spiral, Special Day can continue to race on for seasons to come.

When retirement beckons though, her new career as a Broodmare is ready to begin. The Pierro mare is from one of the best families in the stud book going back to Klairessa / Eight Carat / Octagonal / Lonhro / Pierro. As if this isn’t enough, Special Day also goes back to Zabeel on both the Sire and Dam’s side. This staying blood saw her Granddam, Manang, win five races, four of which were on metropolitan tracks. Manang also finished runner up in the VRC Oaks.

This is your opportunity to purchase a consistent staying mare who is well placed to earn significant prize money plus bonusses and then retire as an outstanding broodmare prospect in years to come.
