This stunning filly is by first-season sire NOVERRE, the Group 1-winning son of SAVABEEL, New Zealand’s nine-time champion sire. Noverre was a standout in our shortlisting process, with nearly 20% of our second-look list coming from his crop.

Out of an O’REILLY mare, this filly carries a proven and highly successful cross, producing a Stakes horse in every 4.5 runners bred. Notable winners from this cross include ORCHESTRAL and SAVAGLEE. Tulloch Lodge has seen tremendous success with the progeny of SAVABEEL, delivering Group 1 stars such as MAJOR BEEL, NEVER BEEN KISSED, and our 2YO Lonhro Plate winner, TILLIANAM.

O’Reilly himself has sired 96 Stakes winners and 15 Group 1 champions, but his influence has only grown as one of the most successful broodmare sires in the industry. His mares have produced over 88 Group winners, 30 of them at Group 1 level, many through the powerful SAVABEEL cross.

Fillies with this profile have been hard to secure for under $200K this year. With her outstanding temperament and undeniable presence, she was highly sought after in the ring—we had to battle leading Australian and New Zealand stables to bring her home!
