Blue Sky secure Sister to Dowry at Karaka…

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds were active yesterday at the New Zealand Bloodstock Weanling, Broodmare and Mixed Bloodstock Sale at Karaka purchasing the mixed session sale topper Lasting Legacy for NZ$100,000. The 3yo daughter of Pins is a half sister to Group 1 South Australian Oaks winner Dowry and NZ stakes winners Fatal and Richfield Destiny.

'Ïts a great family and with the Australian dollar so strong at present she presented great value to our Aussie clients being so well related', said Blue Sky Managing Director Julian Blaxland. 'I think a filly like this would have made a lot more should she have been sold at the recent Australian Broodmare Sale at Newmarket, so there is plenty of upside in bringing her home to Australia and breeding her this coming season. I bought the yearling Charge Forward filly from Dowry at Easter select 1 (Lot ) for clients and we know the whole family is being bred up, so there is plenty happening is the pedigree. We constantly look for value for clients to give them an edge in the commercial breeding market and hopefully this filly will represent just that over the next 12 months.
