A Rare Gem 💎
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 dam 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.
- TURAATH was a very expensive private purchased at the end of her racing career.
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd dams are ALL stakes winners
- KERMADEC has sired G1 winners MONTEFILIA, WILLOWY, AMOKURA, TUVALU etc.
- The most outstanding physical in the sale, and the most impressive athlete we have seen all year.
- Bought with the Guineas and Princess series as potential targets
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.
- 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
