Description

An opportunity has arisen to purchase this well-related mare, with a lovely foal at foot by dual Gr.2 winner Showtime. The mare is a full sister to 2YO SW CHOISTAR, who won the Fernhill Handicap (L), along with placing in the Doomben Slipper (L) and being competitive in both the Gr.1 ATC Champagne Stakes (5th), and the Gr.1 BRC TJ Smith Stakes (4th). She is also a ½ sister to the SP 2YO, Smooth Groove (Fasliyev).

The mare has had three to the track for three winners, including multiple winners Zounate and Trifecta Ruby.

She is a winner at 1600M herself, is out of a mare that won twelve races and has thrown six winners, so as you can see, it’s a family full of winners.

.The filly foal on the mare is by two-time Gr.2 winner SHOWTIME, who in turn is the sire of SAJC Cinderella Stakes (L) winner SHOW ROYALE. She has been very straight forward since being born on 20/8/24, is correct, of good size, has good bone, and should develop into a lovely yearling.

She would be the type of filly that you could take home and grow out, before racing her yourself and having a potential broodmare down the track.

Fascinating is in foal to Japanese Group 1 and multiple Group winner Lauda Sion (JPN)
