Purchased for $45,000 (PLUS GST) at the recent MELBOURNE PREMIER YEARLING SALES this outstanding daughter of STRAVINSKY ticks ALL the boxes on type and pedigree to suggest that she is a filly that may grace the turf at an early age and be a player in the early 2yo action. Her pedigree is certainly impressive as evidenced by her GROUP ONE Winning sire in STRAVINSKY-Winner of both the Newmarket July Cup over 1200m and the York Nunthorpe Stakes over 1000m as a three year old.However,it is at stud where he has enjoyed outstanding success and is a stallion most sought after at the sales today. To date STRAVINSKY has produced 7 GROUP ONE Winners which include KEENINSKY (Winner Manawatu Sires Produce),SERANADE ROSE (Winner VRC Oaks),BENBAUN (Winner NZ Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp),CAPTIVATE (Winner NZ Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes),BARITONE (Winner QTC Stradbroke Hcp),BALMONT (Winner Newmarket Middle Park Stakes) and SOLDIER'S TALE (Winner Royal Ascot Golden Jubilee Stakes).

He is the sire of Winners across no fewer than 29 countries, they include 59 individual Black Type Winners. STRAVINSKY'S key performers in Australia last year included-BIRD OF FIRE (dual GROUP TWO and THREE Winner),MISS MAREN (GROUP THREE and LISTED race Winner),KIRVINSKY (LISTED) and MISS SCARLATTI (LISTED)-ALL FILLIES!!,with other notable winners on this side of the Tasman that included:SATINKA,BALLET SOCIETY,LA SIZERANNE,PULCINELLA,PLAGIARIZE,BISCAYNE BAY,PURE HARMONY,ROYAL ASSCHER,and HIPS DON'T LIE but to name a few.

STRAVINSKY'S achievements at stud include being Champion first season sire in the United States and in New Zealand in 2004,Champion second-season sire in New Zealand in 2005,the Champion 2yo sire in New Zealand in 2005/06 and third leading General sire in New Zealand in 2005/06.In the sale ring STRAVINSKY was the Sire of the $2.2 million top price lot at the 2006 New Zealand Yearling Sales at Karaka with the colt (ex Grand Echezeaux) bought by David Ellis of Te Akau Stud. He was the leading Sire by aggregate at the 2007 New Zealand National Yearling Sales at Karaka where he had 37 lots sold for an aggregate price of NZ$6,762,500 at an average price of NZ$182,770.He had the second highest lot sold at these sales with a colt ex ETHEREAL selling for $1.3 Million.

STRAVINSKY is known as a great sire of fillies and this filly herself comes from an outstanding filly family that includes MIDNIGHT FEVER (Winner VATC Blue Diamond Stakes-GROUP ONE),ASTRODAME (Winner MVRC WH Stocks Stakes-GROUP TWO),STARTLING LASS (Winner MVRC Veuve Clicquot Stakes-GROUP TWO AND Third STC Golden Slipper Stakes-GROUP ONE),FINE RECIPE (Winner VRC Bloodhorse Breeders Plate-GROUP TWO),TRIM GIRL (Third South Australian Oaks-GROUP ONE) and other Black Type performers including SHOVOFF,LADY LUSTRE,CRIXIA,LEVELLER and EXCITABLE LADY.ALL the above are FILLIES and combined with a proven Sire of Fillies, I believe this makes this an exciting Syndication with the added benefit of her having outstanding residual value as a Broodmare at the end of her racing career!
