Feature Mare Of The Week

 ORAIA - in-foal to FASTNET ROCK

STOP PRESS: 6th Mar - A second 2009/2010 Group 1 winner for FASTNET ROCK, with 3yo colt WANTED winning the VRC Newmarket Handicap at Flemington today. FASTNET ROCK now leading 2nd Season Sire, 2nd on the 3yo Sires Table, and in the top 10 on the General Sires Table. It has been widely reported that FASTNET ROCK'S 2010 service fee is likely to be around $125,000+GST.

Dual winning mare by leading sire STRAVINSKY, damsire of leading European 3yo miler in 2009, RIP VAN WINKLE (Ascot Queen Elizabeth II S., Gr.1, Goodwood Sussex S., Gr.1).
ORAIA is a half-sister to Champion European 3yo Filly GOLDEN OPINION.

Her dam OPTIMISTIC LASS is a Group 2 and Group 3 winner by a 'breed shaping' stallion MR PROSPECTOR.

She sells in-foal to Australasia's hottest young sire, FASTNET ROCK (early Oct cover).

ORAIA is exceptionally well priced at $215,000+GST or near offer. As it appears likely that FASTNET ROCK will stand for $125,000+GST this coming season, this is effectively valuing ORAIA at well below the $185,000 that she sold for at the 2007 Inglis Easter Broodmare Sale as an unplaced racing/breeding prospect. Subsequent to that sale, ORAIA is now a winner of 2 races, plus in the past 3 years there have been a further 6 stakes horses appear within her first generation - WAIT AND SEE (G3P in France), ROKER PARK (LRP in England), SHAWEEL (G2W in England), NIJOOM DUBAI (G3W in England), SAHARA PRINCE (LRP in India) and ALEAGUEOFTHEIROWN (LRP in Ireland). ORAIA'S family will definitely continue to improve, as within her first generation there are 2yo's, yearlings and foals coming through by leading stallions such as STREET CRY (2), GALILEO, DANSILI, HIGH CHAPARRAL, RAHY, etc, etc.

ORAIA is located in the upper Hunter Valley and available for immediate inspection.
