To be sold as a racing & breeding proposition, BURGEIS has won over $200,000 in prizemoney which includes victory in the Listed SAJC Proud Miss Stakes in May this year. She is impeccably bred, being from a half sister to STC Golden Slipper winner STRATUM whose first crop make their eagerly awaited racetrack debut this season.

“At last years sale we sold six mares for $100,000 or over, including Danevade for over $1million, and with the quality of entries we continue to receive I’d expect another strong buying bench next week here at Oaklands” said Inglis Melbourne Director Peter Heagney.
