Description
CHITABE (Belardo x The Fire Inside) – In Foal to Jacquinot + Free 2025 Cover to Oxley Road
A Young, Commercial Broodmare in Foal to an Exciting First-Season Sire.
Blue Gum Farm presents CHITABE, a well-credentialed six-year-old broodmare in foal to JACQUINOT on a September 23 cover. Height 16.1hh.
A two-year-old winner herself, CHITABE is out of G2-placed THE FIRE INSIDE and hails from a strong black-type family that includes stakes winners PENTACITY and MAXIMUM EFFORT.
She currently has a striking Sejardan colt on the ground, and with JACQUINOT’s early demand in the market, her current pregnancy offers an exciting commercial opportunity.
Belardo – A Broodmare Sire on the Rise
By LOPE DE VEGA, BELARDO is quickly emerging as a promising broodmare sire, with his daughters producing athletic and well-balanced stock. LOPE DE VEGA-line mares are already responsible for multiple stakes winners including SUMO SAM, SOBER, THE RIDLER & PERSIAN FORCE further enhancing CHITABE’s long-term broodmare value.
Bonus Offer – Free 2025 Cover to Oxley Road
