kodiac x nijah

This filly was purchased by Nick and Karl Burke from the Tattersalls Book 2 Sale on 12th October for 45,000 Guineas.

This filly is a good looking daughter of leading 2yo sire Kodiac and physically is the image of her father.  She is a very strong filly who stands around 15'2. She has a good shoulder and hip and looks highly precocious.

Due to her strength she is quite a heavy filly but she has the limbs and confirmation to carry the weight. She has an excellent action and is hard to fault. 

She is the second foal out of the Pivotal mare Nijah whose first foal La Pulga, also by Kodiac ending his 2yo season having won twice and rated 91.

The Kodiac cross with Pivotal mares has produced four horses rated above 100 including the Group 2 Lowther and Group 1 Cheveley Park winning filly Fairyland.

This filly looks the type to start off over 6 furlongs and you would have said would be a 6 to 7 furlong at her peak, but with her elder sibling La Pulga winning over 1mile at 2 at Carlisle it could be that she stays further than we would expect.

She joins Karl Burke who Nick has combined with in 2021 with the likes of Dandalla, Guilded, Fast Response, Honey Sweet and Sophie's Star to name just a few of the Stakes fillies they have excelled with.
