Filly on her way to the Oaks!

We’re thrilled to announce our latest purchase from the Inglis Premier Sale, a Kermadec filly out of Turaath for $625,000.

We purchased this filly for the following reasons:

• The most outstanding physical in the sale, perfect confirmation and balance
• A beautiful flowing action with a huge overreach and great economy of movement
• Bought with the aim of re-offering her through our Astute Bloodstock Chairman's Sale Consignment once her racing career has concluded
• The shape, scope and quality to be a Oaks style of filly
• TURAATH is a dual stakes winning mare who won the G2 Let’s Elope Stakes, just like AMELIA’S JEWEL, I AM A STAR, GRINZINGER BELLE, LAZZURA etc.
• 1st, 2nd and 3rd dams are ALL stakes winners
• KERMADEC has sired G1 winners MONTEFILIA, WILLOWY, AMOKURA, TUVALU etc.

Pedigree Statistics

• KERMADEC won 2.9M in prize money winning the G1 Doncaster Mile as 3-year-old and the G1 George Ryder as a 4-year-old
• OASIS DREAM is the broodmare sire of 17 G1 winners including LINEBACKER, TWILIGHT PAYMENT, SIR DRAGONET, SIOUX NATION, BIG EVS etc.
• Bred on the TEOFILO x OASIS DREAM cross that has produced G1 winners TWILIGHT PAYMENT, NATION’S PRIDE and TAWKEEL, from just 22 runners (13% G1 winners to runners)
• Her 2nd dam FADHAYYIL was a stakes winning 2YO who produced a stakes winner from her first foal
• Her 3rd dam ZIRIA was a stakes winning 2YO who produced four stakes winners

Considering this fillies STRIKING PHYSIQUE, and exceptional pedigree, she holds SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL VALUE  as a broodmare once her racing career is concluded.
