YEARLING PHOTOS
Correspondence from July’08….
The filly has been going through an incredible growth spurt, particularly at the rear end…been happening for 4plus months… and being a staying bred “Classic” filly there is NO RUSH !!!!!!. She is now starting to grow in the wither region as of September.
She will be given at least another 2 months agistment to hopefully balance up in the wither area, before being put back into work for her next phase of education.
A likely race debut will be with a couple of runs as an Autumn 2yo….before being prepared for Classic 3yo races….Spring / Autumn.
.……………………………………………………….
This is a truly lovely filly, from a classic staying pedigree whose 2nd Dam is a FULL SISTER TO NOM DU JEU, with a beautiful nature to match and residual value.
A definite Chance !. Inspection highly recommended.
