Broodmares

GIBBERER (bred in 2009 by Rahy-Keep On Talking (USA)) was conceived in the USA but foaled in Australia.  A handy racemare, she won three races over sprint distances in Brisbane. Her female family, a particularly precocious line, has been centred around the east coast of the USA. Her dam Keep On Talking (USA) is a multiple stakes-placed daughter of Royal Academy (USA) and was produced by the G3 and multiple Listed winning mare Gin Talking, a solid producer.  Gibberer’s sire, the beautifully-bred Rahy who died in 2011, was famous for being small – under 15.2 – but he was a giant in the breeding barn, both as a sire of runners (93 stakeswinners, 13 G1 winners) and, more lastingly, as a broodmare sire.  His daughters have produced at least 171 stakeswinners (18 in G1) including such luminaries as Giant’s Causeway, Megahertz, Life At Ten, Alpha Centauri and Declaration Of War.  From the small number of Rahy mares in Australia – Gibberer is one of only 10 currently in the Stud Book – Alverta, Tarquin, Shaft, Aerobatics, Soft Sand, Diddums and Tornado Alley have all won at stakes level.

HALLUCINATES (bred in 2005 by Redoute’s Choice-Staremma) joined the Burnewang North broodmare band after having produced three winners for the Darley operation, most notably Alucinari who won the Denise’s Joy Stakes at the Scone Cup meeting. She has produced a Dawn Approach filly in 2017 and is back in foal to Sebring.  Hallucinates belongs to a line of black-type producing mares; she is a half-sister to two stakeswinners including G3 winner Charmview, a successful black-type producer.  She is out of a half-sister to the Melbourne Cup runner-up Shiva’s Revenge, this being the family of Just Now, the Queensland-bred G1 AJC Oaks winner. Just Now, her stakeswinning half-sister Bernalla and her other siblings produced a string of prolific winners.  They included Startell, Telltina, Scenic Warrior, Stanzaic and For The Good Times, dam of millionaire Fast 'n' Rocking and the promising Good 'n' Fast.  With more than 70 stakeswinners already, Redoute’s Choice, sire of Hallucinates, is on his way to having similar impact as a broodmare sire as he has had as a sire of runners, his notable grandchildren include Zoustar, Sacred Falls, Kementari, Ace High, Levendi and D'Argento.

IDYLLIC MOOD (bred in 2012 by High Chaparral (Ire)-Matras (NZ)), a descendant of Felidoma,  represents some of the most successful bloodlines developed at Eduardo Cojuangco’s renowned Gooree Park Stud at Mudgee. When acquired after just three racetrack starts, she was only the second filly foal of either her first or second dams to be sold by the breeder.  A placed daughter of champion and influential sire High Chaparral, Idyllic Mood is out of Melbourne G3 winner Matras, a daughter of champion broodmare sire Zabeel and dam  of two two black-type performers to date, one of which is already a stakes producer.  Grandam Tropical Affair was a precocious daughter of Danehill successful in the VRC Maribyrnong Trial Plate.  At stud she is heading towards ‘blue hen’ status being responsible thus far for three Group winners, headed by VRC Derby winner and G1-winning two-year-old Prized Icon, and is also the grandam of Sydney G2 winner Kabayan.  The filly’s sire High Chaparral formed a profitable union with Zabeel mares, Dundeel (NZ) being the star.  He has emerged as a profound influence since his premature death, with 111 stakeswinners (21 in G1) including  Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling, classic winners Ace High and  Youngstar, and Hiyaam in the last 12 months alone.

NATIONAL VELVET (bred in 2012 by Commands-Nonchalance) is a home-bred filly who was a sparingly-raced winner brought back into the stud when Burnewang North had the misfortune to lose her dam, Nonchalance, who had the makings of a valuable broodmare.  Nonchalance, Lonhro, left three winners from four foals, the best being lightly-raced stakes-placed Niccolance ($251,660), a handsome son of Nicconi who won two races in Sydney after finishing fourth in the Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic before his career was cut short. Nonchalance was acquired from Darley who picked up the line upon their acquisition of Woodlands' bloodstock.  The family has done great service for all who have tapped into it. Nonchalance’s dam Insouciance left G1 winner Complacent (as well as recent stakeswinner Ataraxia), the next dam left three stakeswinners including triple G1 victor Dracula while the next dam produced G1 winners Masked Party and Festal.  National Velvet is inbred to Eight Carat 3f x 4m and her first foal will be by Nicconi.
