Description

The Fun Gene is a beautifully put together mare and has passed that on to her most recent foals that are being retained by the owners to race - a 2023 filly by Grunt and a 2024 colt by Fierce Impact.

The Fun Gene was not served in 2024 to give her a break, so she is being sold empty and ready to go to a stallion of your choice early this season.

The Fun Gene's dam line is pure quality with her dam HAPPYANUNOIT (NZ), by Yachtie (AUS), being the Top filly on The 1997-98 Australasian 2YO Classification. She was the champion 2YO Filly in NZ in 1997-98. 9 wins-3 at 2-from 1100m to 2000m, US$1,481,892 in prize money.

Regrettable sale due to owner down sizing.
