This filly is a queen in every respect and is the type of horse we come to New Zealand to buy. From a leading nursery with an excellent pedigree and physique to match, she is destined for success and will get every chance under the watchful eye of top fillies trainer John Sargent.
Trained by John Sargent, Royal Randwick.
Purchased for $340,000 from Curraghmore’s NZB Karaka Yearling draft, this filly is by exciting young sire Cosmic Force.
Cosmic Force showed great precocity as a juvenile, winning on debut as a pre-Christmas 2yo before taking out the G3 Pago Pago Stakes and contesting the G1 Golden Slipper. He came back as a 3yo to win the G2 Roman Consul Stakes (beating Golden Slipper runner-up Microphone), among other stakes placings.
He has already left a blazing trail with his oldest crop, which are just two, siring multiple winners, including hot G1 Blue Diamond contender Stay Focused, plus 2yo stakes placegetters Beer Baron and Full Force.
This filly is from the stakes-producing Zabeel mare Zadancer, the dam of 5-time winner and multiple stakes placegetter Tavidance.
She was one of the most admired fillies on the complex as the underbidders being very successful buyers attested, and trainer Roger James and The Oak’s Dick Karreman made us stretch to buy the filly we were really targeting at this sale.
She was offered through leading vendor Curraghmore Stud’s draft, who continue to produce some of New Zealand’s best racehorses. Her physical and athletic appearance answers the question; she was so sought after, and she’s backed by a tremendous pedigree, being out of a daughter of prolific Champion Broodmare Sire Zabeel.
Ownership opportunities are available to race her with DGR and famed fillies trainer John Sargent. Get in touch with Duncan for more information.
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.
By leading 2yo sire Extreme Choice from the multiple Group winner Istanford (USA), this filly was raised at the top Golden Slipper-producing nursery of Newgate Farm and will get every opportunity of success under the guidance of Anthony Cummings, the trainer of her sire’s best daughter and DGR’s up-and-coming 2yo Group placegetter Extreme Diva.
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.
