Price Reduction! Athletic Moving Filly Sell or Lease!
(GST status not known)
(GST status not known)
Make an offer on this very athletic 4 year old filly has been in the paddock for well over 18 months now. Had two preps as a 2 year old and showed some ability before jarring up on the synthetic track in Toowoomba. Was then turfed out to the paddock where she has been maturing for over 18 months.
Loves to move, beautiful movement and action. Correct straight legs, everything is nicely balanced and as it should be. Deep girth, wide chest, beatiful hip to hock. Only fault is height measuring in at about 15.1 hh. Solid bone, good feet, completly educated and ready to go.
Based on her work as a 2 year old and her pedigree would suggest that she will be a 1600m+ horse. Just seemed to be able to go without running out of puff when under pressure. Had a few trials which was when she was jarring up on the track so did not perform to what was expected.
Looking to sell with ALL offers considered but would also consider leasing to the right trainer who will afford her the oppertunities she needs. Must go, she is ready to be a racehorse so if you are interested please ring and discuss.
Born and bred on our farm, never had an issue or anything go wrong with her in her life, raised on open paddocks with natural room to move.
Vet cheaks welcomed as are inspections.
Looking a bit harrier than her spring photos!
Librettist was a champion European miler
Librettist has had 32 starters for 12 winners thats nearly 38% winners to runners strike rate at this stage with the stock expected to get better as they mature into 4 year olds as this girl is. She is from his first crop. He himself did not hit his peak until 4 years of age.

Her dam's record does not accuratly represent what she has produced:
Her first foal was a BIG Lion Hunter that had plently of ability but broke down in the knee, they patched him up and raced him at far less than his full ability.
Second foal by Lion Hunter was a successful winner in Singapore
Third foal was by Catbird is a BIG girl and is still racing
Fourth foal was a BIG filly by Street Cry that was touted as a "machine" that broke down from being to heavy
Unsure of the fifth foal a Reset gelding
and then their is Libbie Jean, apparently the only foal from the mare that has not be a BIG horse.
