SERGEI PROKOFIEV X FONDANT

This filly was a real eyecatcher on viewings and she was very popular with like minded buyers who look for racing fillies like ourselves.

She's a flashy chesnut, with a really authoritive walk who just looks like an absolute powerhouse.

Nick felt her walk was as good as he has seen down at Tattersalls this week!

The sire, Sergei Prokofiev, enjoyed an excellent first season on the track with a group three winner and a listed winner within his first crop as well as 24 other individuals who have won a race as a juvenile.

 High Chaparral is an outstanding damsire, our very own Fev Rover who made 700,000gns at the Mares sale was out of a High Chaparral mare and we can see tons of similarities to this filly, given her walk and build plus she isn't by a top tier stallion. 

We thought we would steal her at £25,000 but a late flurry of interest saw us stretch to the very limit on her, Richard Hannon was the frustrated underbidder. We had to go a little more than we had hoped but we couldn't let her go when we saw her again in the ring.

She qualifies for a 100% Great British Bonus which will see owners rewarded with a £20,000 bonus per fillies race won, we'll look to pick up some early fillies only restricted maiden and novices.

She will qualify for the Tattersalls Auction Stakes at Newmarket next October which is ran over six furlongs and carries £150,000 in prize money, you'd think at this stage that a stiff six furlongs will suit this filly down to the ground.
