Selling Information
A $200,000 Inglis Premier Sale Yearling purchase by Anton Koolman BS.
Her career best efforts include running Winx to a length when 2nd in the G1 Turnbull Stakes over 2000m as well as being the first Australian-bred runner home when 6th in the 2018 G1 Melbourne Cup.
Her half sister, Funstar, stays in training as a 4YO having recently run 2nd in the G1 Coolmore Legacy Stakes over 1600m, while her three quarter sister Baggy Green is the dam of recent G1 All Aged Stakes winner Tofane.
Her dam, Starspangled, had a Pierro colt foal in 2019 and was covered by Funstar’s sire Adelaide in 2019.
Recent top-class Australian performers produced from mares that won at 2000m and beyond include Dreamforce, Te Akau Shark, Viddora, Doubtland, Tivaci, Stay With Me, Tycoon Tara, Miss Fabulass etc.
“She has been a fantastic athlete to train. She went from breaking her maiden to winning a G1 in a single preparation. As you know I try and take my horses through their grades, but when they have star quality like she possesses, it allows you to jump straight into Group company, where she thrived. There is domestic and international quality throughout her pedigree, so the combination of that with her performance on the track make her a very exciting broodmare prospect.” - Chris Waller, Trainer
