Robert Roulston Bloodstock Pty Ltd and International Thoroughbred Solutions Pty Ltd present: Lot 888 Grey Filly by SEA THE STARS x REAL IMPACT by SMART STRIKE Mark and Rob have secured this outstanding filly for 140,000 guineas on Day Two of Book Two of the 2021 Tattersalls Yearling Sale. As agents it is always a privilege to secure the horse that you really wanted and we are very fortunate that this filly fell within our budget as she was our pick of the sale. “By leading sire SEA THE STARS out of the Group 3 winning mare REAL IMPACT this filly has one of the strongest pages in the catalogue. It is rare to see that the first four dams on the page are all Group or Listed performers, emphasising the depth of the pedigree. Widely regarded as the best racehorse of his generation SEA THE STARS was a Group 2 winner as a 2yo who progressed as a 3yo through an unbeaten campaign of six starts, all at Group One level. He started the season in May winning the 2,000 Guineas, before winning The Derby at Epson followed by winning the Coral-Eclipse Stakes, the Juddmonte International Stakes, the Irish Champion Stakes and culminating in his victory in Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Retired to stud at HH The Aga Khan’s Gilltown Stud at the end of his 3yo season he quickly transformed his career on the track into being a leading sire. By CAPE CROSS out of blue hen mare URBAN SEA who herself won “the Arc” SEA THE STARS is a half brother to GALILEO. REAL IMPACT is the grand daughter of G1 Haydock Sprint Cup winner TANTE ROSE. There is a fascinating mix of class, stamina and speed in this fillies pedigree” commented Mark. Physically Rob could not have been more taken with the filly “We spent many hours pouring over videos from the leading European yearling sales. We would then get our team on the ground headed by Mark Richard’s to physically inspect the horses. This was followed by reinspection and veterinary checks (Grade 1 Scope and clean x-rays). There is no doubt that this filly stood out among all the videos that we reviewed. She is a beautifully balanced individual with real presence. She has a great action. This was very much reflected in Mark’s comments on the filly each time that he inspected her. The quality oozes through with this filly and she caught the eye whether it was the way that she stood or the way that she moved. She sold herself.” Lot 888 was bred by Bjorn Neilsen. Mr Neilsen has been involved in racing and breeding since the 1990’s and bred and raced TANTE ROSE, the third dam of this filly. Bjorn is best known as being the breeder and the owner of the Champion Stayer in Europe STRADIVARIUS (also by Sea The Stars). Often described as :The People’s Champion” STRADIVARIUS is trained by John and Thady Gosden and usually ridden by Frankie Detorri. This Champion Stayer has won the famous Ascot Gold Cup on three occasions to go with four Goodwood Cups. Mr Neilsen has a strong passion for breeding stayers and in STRADIVARIUS he has bred the ultimate stayer who still competes at Group One level as a 7yo. Raised at the renowned Watership Down Stud this filly has had the best of starts in life and has a great future ahead of her. Our filly has already entered Pre-Export Quarantine in the UK and is due to arrive into Melbourne on 13 November 2021. She will complete Post-Arrival Quarantine at Mickleham before heading straight to Noorilim Farm just north of Ngambie. Noorilim Farm is one of the outstanding thoroughbred properties in Victoria. Situated on the banks of the Goulburn River Noorilim has virtually un-limited water supply and has outstanding facilities to raise young horses. Once she has acclimatised and had time to grow and fill her frame the filly will be sent to be broken in. Rob and Mark will then work out a program to pre-train and develop the filly before we allocate to the trainer that we believe will best suit her so that her racing career can be optimised.
