Description
An unraced, DENMAN mare out of a Blacktype MORE THAN READY mare.
Unraced but with obvious talent MERTON MAID trialled well, debuting 3rd behind I AM ZELADY
https://racing.racingnsw.com.au/InteractiveForm/Meeting.aspx?meetcode=MTQ1NTU0Njk2MA%3D%3D#Race7
MERTON MAID's first foal is a multiple winner by KILLY, her second foal a multiple winner by MERCHANT NAVY (8-4:2:0 ) and her third foal, WISH YOU WERE HERE by Zoustar debuted 5th last week on a Heavy 10.
MERTON MAID has started well as a broodmare and is out of a Stakes placed MORE THAN READY mare MODONNA. MODONNA herself is a Stakes producer. This is a successful family with most of MODONNA's progeny being metropolitan or Stakes class.
MERTON MAID may not have raced but certainly showed the talent and has started well.
Standing 15.3 HH and being offered in foal to NORTH PACIFIC and due in August, MERTON MAID will be ready for another early cover of your choice.
