Here’s a first-crop Tavistock weanling with a BIG pedigree.
Her dam, Tricia Ann (by Zabeel) has had six to the races and they’ve all been winners.
Amongst them is three stakes-performers; namely La Sizeranne (multiple Group winner by Stravinsky), Joy’s Choice (winner & Gr.2-placed this season) and Napa Sky (winner & Gr.3-placed).
An O’Reilly half-sister to this filly made $190,000 at this year’s Karaka Premier Sale, while a One Cool Cat filly from the mare made $640,000 at the 2008 Premier Sale.
Tricia Ann is herself a half-sister to the outstanding Sir Tristram galloper Grosvenor.
He won the Victoria Derby, Caulfield Guineas and VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes at Group One level and was also placed in numerous Group and Listed races including the Cox Plate and Golden Slipper.
