Description

Victory Blues, 3yo filly by Almanzor.

LA daughter of Eliza Blues (O'Reilly) who was a dual winner and G1 placegetter, finishing second in the QLD Oaks. She is the dam of two winners, including Flemington Winner, Navy King.

She has recently commenced her career, having just her first start in January 2025. She had her most recent start on the 25/01 on an unsuited track and has since gone out for a spell. She is a filly that is going to improve with time and getting out over a distance.

She is being set for sale due to an ownership reduction.
