Description

If you’re looking for a classics filly that can take you to the Oaks and Derbies without spending a fortune for the privilege, this Karaka filly by boom stallion TAVISTOCK is your big head-start.


There’s a simple rule when looking for a superior stayer to race in Australia - you go to New Zealand. Bart Cummings pioneered it and it’s true to this day. New Zealand supplies just 5.5% of Australia’s racing population, while over the last 5 years, it’s produced 34% of the winners of ALL G1 filly races in Australia and 45% of all G1 3yo races above 2000m.

That’s why for our 2016 Oaks filly, we looked to NZ’s Karaka sale and their most exciting young stallion and a proven stakes-winning cross to find our girl.


TAVISTOCK is building an incredibly imposing stud record and this year surely marks the last year that we’ll be able to find value in his good types. With 65 winners from just his first 100 runners, including an amazing SEVEN stakes winners already, TAVISTOCK is doing what only the very best stallions can.


Already the sire of VOLKSTOK’N’BARRELL (G1 Rosehill Guineas), TARZINO (G1 VRC Derby), WERTHER (G2 ARC Championship) and HASSELHOOF (G2 ARC Rich Hill Mile) to name a few.


TAVISTOCK is also the sire of the very exciting TAVAGO, who is bred on the same direct cross as our filly, also being out of a STRAVINSKY mare and already a G3 winner and further stakes placed from his first 4 starts.


Our filly’s is the 2nd foal from Stravinsky mare Keep Smiling, a winner over 2000m and half sister to stakes placed multiple winner CHESHIRE (won to 2100m). Her 2nd dam is the super staying mare SMILING LIKE, who was crowned Champion Stayer in New Zealand winning both the time honoured Group 1 Wellington Cup and the New Zealand Cup too. It’s a high quality NZ staying pedigree that only gets better as you go down the page, and this one includes the G1 winners SIRSTACI (9 wins to 1600m) and NIMUE (dual G1 winner and joint NZ filly of the year) and a host of other stakes-winners too numerous to mention here.


Importantly, another aspect of this filly’s pedigree is that it’s already a proving producing family at this generation. Keep Smiling’s half sister Balbeel has produced the 5 time winner BEL SORRISO, who recently ran 2nd in the G3 Trentham Stakes and as we put pen to paper is G1 Auckland Cup bound, a fact that can only improve our filly’s pedigree further.


To be trained by Caulfield trainer Luke Oliver and set for the 3yo classic races, this attractive filly is incredible value at just $2200 a share, with Grand Syndicates’ fixed fees at only $6.60 a day. So if you have always wanted a crack at having an Oaks and Derbies filly, without spending a king’s ransom for the opportunity, this well-bred NZ filly by one of the most exciting young stallions to come out of NZ in a long time is just the ticket!
