  • Her dam, Noondie, sold for $600,000 at the 2019 Chairman’s Sale. She has a Capitalist yearling colt catalogued for the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, a Written Tycoon colt foal and was covered by I Am Invincible in 2019.
  • “I’ve always bought and raced fillies. When I think of the 13 G1 winners Midge and I have had, she’s probably the nicest type we’ve had. Mannerism and the others were good sorts, but Booker is just outstanding. I went way beyond my normal price bracket to secure her as a yearling because I thought so much of her.” - Barrie Griffiths, Part-owner
