Description
The reserve for Traviata is $80,000 + GST.
Here is an opportunity to buy a quality young mare with pedigree upside from one of the best 2yo families in Australia.
Traviata was purchased as a yearling at the Magic Millions Sale for $280,000 by Proven Thoroughbreds. Although she was only placed she demonstrated some natural ability as a 2yo winning her first trial by 2.75 lengths. She went on to place 4 times in her 9 career start with 2 of them being at metropolitan level.
Her sire Deep Field has done a great job at stud. He has sired 39 stakes winners at a strike rate of 5.2% stakes winners to runners. This includes 5 time G1 winning Hong Kong star Voyage Bubble. It’s only early days but Deep Field has made a positive start as a broodmare sire with 6 winners from 12 starters.
Traviata comes from a great Australian 2yo speed family. Her dam Sempre Libera was a Sydney Saturday metropolitan 2yo winner and was close to getting black type when running 4th in two Group races. Her second dam Merlene won the Golden Slipper and was Champion Australian 2yo. Her third dam Bold Promise won six 2yo races including the Magic Millions 2yo race and was named Champion Australian 2yo Filly of her generation. Under Bold Promise is two time Group 1 winner Miss Pennymoney and Champion Australian 2yo Colt and successful sire Capitalist.
This is also a pedigree with potential upside. Traviata has a 3yo Zoustar half brother named Barbray. He is currently in training with Chris Waller. He won his maiden by nearly 7 lengths at Goulburn on 22/5/25 and then backed it up with a soft win at Canterbury on 9/6/25. On 21/6/25 he ran a very nice 4th at Randwick and was only beaten just over a length after coming from well back in the field. He looks a progressive horse with better wins to come. Traviata also has an unraced half sister 2yo filly by Wootton Bassett in the Ciaron Maher stable and a yearling half sister by Home Affairs in the care of leading New Zealand trainer Stephen Marsh. She also has a half sister by I Am Invincible named I Am Amazes that has recently gone to stud.
Traviata is offered for sale in foal to Capitalist. He is enjoying a great season and currently sits 9th on the Australian general sires list. He is the sire of the very impressive G1 Goodwood Handicap winner Reserve Bank who looks to have bright future. Capitalist yearlings averaged $117,612 at the sales this year and will stand this coming season at Newgate for a fee of $40,000 + GST.
There are some very good reasons for buying a mare in foal to Capitalist this year. Firstly, he covered 156 mares in 2024 which is his smallest book of mares he has ever covered. This means there will be less Capitalist yearlings to compete against at the sales in 2027. On top of this Capitalist has produced 400 live foals over the last three breeding seasons. This is when he stood at his highest fees of $90,000 + GST in 2021 and 2022 and $70,000 + GST in 2023. A majority of these “better bred” foals will have raced by the time Traviata’s foal reaches yearling age in 2027.
Traviata has been measured at just over 16 hands high and she has no vices. A pregnancy certificate is attached to this listing.
