Description

BAUBO (RIP VAN WINKLE X OUR AKELA) – OFFERED WITH A FREE 2025 COVER TO OXLEY ROAD.

A valuable addition to any broodmare band, BAUBO combines elite pedigree, commercial performance and residual upside—making her a compelling prospect for breeders seeking quality and consistency.

A $240,000 yearling purchase, BAUBO has already proven her worth in the sale ring, with progeny realising $230,000, $200,000, $160,000, and $140,000—a powerful endorsement of her ability to produce type and quality.

She is a sister to LADY KIPLING, a multiple Group winner and black-type producer, whose influence as a broodmare continues to grow through her stakes-performing progeny.

BAUBO is by RIP VAN WINKLE, a sire who is fast building a reputation as an elite broodmare sire. His daughters have already produced Group 1 winner and stallion NOVERRE, along with Group winners like MR MOZART and GRINZINGER BELLE—highlighting his impact on pedigrees across Australasia.

BAUBO is currently not in foal, giving buyers a golden opportunity to secure a clean-slate mare perfectly positioned for an early cover to the stallion of your choice this upcoming season. With her track record in the sales ring, deep black-type pedigree, and the upside of an early service date, BAUBO represents a broodmare investment that is ready to reward from the outset.

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

** We advise all potential buyers to complete their own vetting prior to purchase as Blue Gum Farm holds no liability post-sale.**
