Romantic Moon won on debut over 1200m as a pre-Christmas 2YO before taking out the prestigious G3 Sweet Embrace Stakes over 1200m at Warwick Farm, defeating multiple GSW Thump.

From a hugely successful family synonymous with Gooree Stud, Romantic Moon has 6 female siblings that were active during the 2019 season.

Daughters of More Than Ready have produced 96 Stakes winners including G1 winners Bivouac, Miracles of Life and Rebel Dane.

Her unraced Snitzel 2YO colt is in training with Mark Newnham while her I Am Invincible yearling colt is catalogued for the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

The first Shalaa yearlings have sold for up to $450,000 across Australasian yearling sales so far in 2020.

Recent Australian G1 winners produced from fast, Australian Stakes-winning mares include Exceedance, Nature Strip, Sunlight, Pierata, Microphone, Shadow Hero etc.

“She has been all quality from the day she was born. She was a star 2YO that made it all the way to the G1 Golden Slipper. She hails from a great Gooree family nurtured over the last 30 years with a mixture of precocity and stamina. Her dam, Tropical Affair, was a Blue Hen mare and Romantic Moon has all the credentials to follow in her footsteps.” - Andrew Baddock, Gooree Park Stud
