Description
CODE BLUE (Tavistock x Mansera) – In Foal to Oxley Road + Free 2025 Cover to Oxley Road
Blue Gum Farm is proud to present CODE BLUE, an 8-year-old mare by TAVISTOCK, currently in foal to OXLEY ROAD with an early cover date of September 16. This early cover positions her to deliver in August, offering a timely opportunity for breeders aiming for early-season foals. 15.1hh.
A five-time winner, CODE BLUE has demonstrated both durability and class on the track. Her recent PRIDE OF DUBAI colt is set to feature in the 2025 Inglis Sydney Weanling Sale, where expectations are high for a favourable reception under the Blue Gum Farm banner.
CODE BLUE is a half-sister to the stakes-placed MAROUCHE and descends from a distinguished lineage that includes multiple Group 1 winner MANIGHAR and stakes winners VERONA ROSE, MINATYLA and KHAN.
Tavistock as a Broodmare Sire
As a broodmare sire, TAVISTOCK has begun to make a notable impact in a very short amount of time. Notably, his daughters have produced Group 1 winners such as MR BRIGHTSIDE and MERCURIAL, highlighting the quality and potential of his future as a prolific broodmare sire.
Oxley Road – An Exciting Sire Prospect
CODE BLUE is currently in foal to OXLEY ROAD, a Group 2 and Group 3-winning sprinter by EXCEED AND EXCEL who is a full brother to EXCEEDANCE. Trained by Peter Moody, OXLEY ROAD was acclaimed as “as fast a colt as I’ve trained.” His first foals are expected this season, making this an opportune moment to invest in his progeny.
