Purchased for NZ$200,000 from Beaufort Downs Karaka Book 1 draft, she is the second foal out of the sprint-winning Lonhro mare Dazzling Lady. Not only is this filly’s damsire Lonhro a leading broodmare sire, he has already combined with So You Think to produce Group winner and multiple Group One placegetter So Si Bon.
Her sire So You Think is a proven producer of dominant Group One winners including; G1 George Ryder Stakes winner Think It Over, G1 Surround Stakes winner Nakeeta Jane, G1 Australian Derby winner Quick Thinker, G1 Rosehill Guineas winner D’Argento, G1 NZ 1000 Guineas winner La Bella Diosa, G1 SAJC Oaks winner Sopressa and G1 Randwick Guineas winner Inference.
This filly hails from a family renowned for producing racetrack stars such as Hong Kong Horse of the Year Fairy King Prawn, G1 VRC Salinger Stakes winner Easy Rocking and multiple Group One-winning sprinter in Australia, Cosmic Endeavour. This filly could quite easily be the next in the esteemed family.
She will be trained by premiership-winning trainer John Sargent who has an excellent Group One record, especially with Classic fillies.
This horse is now fully subscribed.
An outstanding filly by leading New Zealand sire Per Incanto from Winter Sky (IRE), an Invincible Spirit half-sister to Transfers, the dam of Group 1 winner Tom Kitten and stakes winners Va Via and Promotions. This filly was bred and raised at one of New Zealand’s very best nurseries, Little Avondale, a stud famed for producing 41 individual Group 1 winners.
In the make and shape of his leading sire, So You Think, this colt is from the 3yo stakes performer Valley Sweetheart. Hailing from a front-running family, he represented great buying very early on at Inglis Classic and is a type that is destined to follow in the footsteps of So You Think’s best progeny.
With loads of natural muscle, strength and a top pedigree on her side, this filly was a compelling buy for DGR’s Duncan Ramage. By the Group-winning Invincible Spirit stallion Ancient Spirit, she is from an impeccably related mare from one of New Zealand’s most distinguished nurseries.
A beautifully bred filly by exciting freshman So You Think stallion Peltzer. Her Not a Single Doubt dam was unbeaten as a juvenile and is already doing an excellent job at stud, producing a stakes-winning 2yo in Lord Cosmos.
An embodiment of speed in every conceivable aspect, this filly has the precocity, class and scope to be a top two-year-old and beyond. By exciting freshman sire Anders, she is from the Group-producing mare Think Icon, a daughter of up and coming Group 1 2yo damsire So You Think.
Duncan's Comments
“This filly is the complete package. She's athletic, moves over ground beautifully and is bred on the same cross that has produced exceptional Group One performer So Si Bon. ”
