This filly is exactly what you look for when you buy something by this stallion. She is a neat filly with length and one that will target the late 2-year-old races. Black type performers sit on top of the 1st 3 Dams including 1st Dam Pop Star Princess who won the Group 3 Rotorua Stakes and also saluted at Listed level in the Tauranga Classic. It is a family full of black type and deeper in the pedigree sits dual Group 1 winner Volkstok'N'Barrell.

Shamus Award is an exceptional stallion who is immensely underrated, last year he finished 5th on the Australian Sires List. He has produced 6 Group 1 winners who amongst them have saluted the judge 1st in 12 Group 1 races. They include Incentivise, Duais, Quintessa,Mr Quickie, El Patroness and Media Award.

This filly is bred on the successful cross through Snitzel which from only 2 runners has produced 2 winners including Stakes winner Ethereal Star and prizemoney of $477,296 between them. We purchased her for $50,000 and that was excellent value.
