Broodmares

ALBAICIN (bred in 2002 by Redoute's Choice-Dashing Granada) was a smart-looking $700,000 yearling by champion and now sought-after broodmare sire Redoute's Choice.  She finished out of the first four only twice in her racing career, winning twice in Sydney and placing at G2 and Listed levels. Albaicin is the second-most senior of the Burnewang North broodmares but has a gold-plated pedigree which to date has been passed on to five winners including the dual G3 and multiple Listed winner and dual G1-placed Generalife (by Lonhro), winner of nine races and $873,595.  Albaicin's winning daughter Banuelo was sold at auction in 2018 for $480,000.  The family behind Albaicin is strong both on performance and opportunity: her dam Dashing Granada was a Flemington stakeswinner and fourth in the G1 VRC Oaks, and her siblings include Flemington stakeswinner Celebrity Girl, the  multiple stakes-placed Lady Lakshmi, and the dam of Sheezdashing, placed in two G1 Oaks in 2018.  Dashing Granada's G3 Blue Diamond Preview winning sister Northeast Sheila in turn produced Jacqueline Rouge ($423,000) while a Flemington stakeswinning half-brother Kablammo won 10 races.
