Broodmares

SUNDAY TOO FAR (bred in 2009 by Bernardini (USA)-Quiet Life (USA)) is a year-younger half-sister to the top class racemare Better Life (q.v.). Sunday Too Far won three races up to 1600m around Sydney and in her first two seasons at stud produced foals by Fastnet Rock and Pride Of Dubai. Family notes appear under Better Life. Her sire, the Preakness Stakes winner Bernardini (USA), has made a particularly promising start as a broodmare sire for such a young horse, his daughters being responsible for 20 stakeswinners already including the turf G1 winners Catholic Boy and Mo Town in the USA and the rising star in Singapore Elite Invincible. Sunday Too Far will produce her first foal for Burnewang North in 2018, one of the first crop of Sooboog, the Group-winning brother to Snitzerland.
