Description
POSITIVE CHARGE (CHARGE FORWARD X SEMITONE) – OFFERED IN FOAL TO OXLEY ROAD WITH A FREE 2025 COVER TO OXLEY ROAD.
Blue Gum Farm is proud to present POSITIVE CHARGE, a proven stakes-placed broodmare in foal to exciting young sire OXLEY ROAD, whose first foals arrive this spring.
A two-time winner, including a juvenile victory at two, POSITIVE CHARGE displayed black type talent early, finishing stakes-placed as a 3YO. She’s since passed that on in the breeding barn, producing multiple winners including:
- MISS IN CHARGE – a metro-winning, stakes-performed filly who went on to realise $450,000 at the 2024 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, underlining the commercial appeal of this mare’s progeny.
Her young offspring have fetched up to $120,000 in the sale ring, and her current weanling colt by G1-winning freshman sire JACQUINOT has been entered for the 2025 Inglis Great Southern Sale—where expectations are high. The colt is a strong, athletic type and is sure to attract attention, particularly off the back of JACQUINOT’s first weanlings selling for up to $140,000 at this year’s Australian Inglis Weanling Sale.
POSITIVE CHARGE is in foal to OXLEY ROAD, a brilliantly fast son of EXCEED AND EXCEL whose first crop will be hotly anticipated this spring, with wide support from leading breeders. Importantly, she is by CHARGE FORWARD, one of Australia’s most respected broodmare sires, responsible for producing elite performers such as:
- ESTIJAAB (G1 Golden Slipper winner)
- SUNLIGHT (G1 Newmarket Hcp, Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner)
- SHE WILL REIGN (G1 Golden Slipper winner)
POSITIVE CHARGE is a proven producer with commercial credentials, in foal to a young sire with real momentum. She offers breeders the chance to invest in a mare with genuine black-type performance, strong market appeal, and a pedigree still very much on the rise.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: COMPLIMENTARY 2025 COVER TO OXLEY ROAD
As an added incentive, Blue Gum Farm is including a FREE 2025 nomination to OXLEY ROAD. Trained by Peter Moody, OXLEY ROAD was acclaimed as “as fast a colt as I’ve trained.” Covering strong books and well-supported by breeders, OXLEY ROAD is one of Victoria’s most exciting young stallions and with his first foals expected this season, this is an offer not to be missed. The nomination is only valid for the 2025 season and may be used on a mare of your choosing. For more information or to book an inspection, vetting or cover, please contact Colum McCullagh at Blue Gum Farm on 0497 214 886 or colum@bluegumfarm.com.au
