🎯 it’s another Group 1 for Pride of Jenni!
After sifting through all of the 1000 odd horses presently going through the sales ring at Inglis Classic, this filly is without doubt the number one pick for me. I’ve found some odd, stupid and downright dangerously in**st breeding on offer here, but this filly would be a risk and reward purchase for the lucky and astute buyer.
The Dam side is literally flushed with Group winning mares, with Vouvray (Grand Mare) being a mulitiple G1 winner in OZ & NZ. Amazingly the mares side has both legendary NZ stallions in ‘Zabeel’ & ‘O’Reilly’ who get their progeny over wet or any surface and the longer the trip, the more heart they show.
Than the young Sire, ‘Pride of Dubai’ was a super fast 2yr old G1 winner, who himself was out of a multiple winning ‘Danehill’ mare. Can you see where I am going here!! Oh, a little point that I should add, that ‘Street Cry’ is ‘Pride of Dubai’ sire, who also sired a mare you may have heard of named 'Winx'.
For me this exceptional breeding, has the exact blend of young stallion speed and proven mare endurance, with the BlueBlood linear suggesting that this filly is top shelf. I applaud this mating as spectacular and strategic.
The risk is that this is the first foal of the Dam, and the Sire is a freshman. So any purchaser is flying blind to a degree. However most buyers wouldn't realise this but the NZ stud farm obviously has the highest opinion of the future for this broodmare as she has dropped this seasons foal who is out of ‘I am Invincible’, the most expensive Southern Hemisphere Stallion.
I’ve no idea how high they will bid tomorrow and where the hammer will fall, but I highly doubt that I am alone in finding this beauty; if I am - well let's get her!https://content.inglis.com.au/images/pedigrees/19CLY/Lot00677.pdf
