Bell tolls for valuable filly

Lightly raced three-year-old Silver Wedding has added performance to her illustrious pedigree with a dominant winning performance at Canterbury Park.

Our regally bred filly placed in her first two appearances from Ciaron Maher’s stable and was then spelled after she was out of the frame in the G3 Reginald Allen Quality at Randwick in the spring.

Silver Wedding resumed over 1100 metres and sat back in a small field before breezing past her rivals in the straight to romp home in the hands of expatriate Kiwi jockey Jason Collett.

She will be a valuable future addition to our broodmare band as the daughter of Zoustar is a sister to the G1 William Reid Stakes winner Schwarz, who will stand his first season in 2025 at Rosemont Stud.

We purchased Silver Wedding from breeder Widden Stud’s draft at the 2023 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale for A$800,000.

She is a daughter of the G2 Angus Armanasco Stakes winner Silver Sham, a Not A Single Doubt mare who hails from the decorated family of multiple Group 1 winners and Champion Sire Redoute’s Choice.

His half-brothers Platinum Scissors and Manhattan Rain were also top-flight winners while their half-sister The Broken Shore is the dam of three-time Group 1 winner Shoals.
