A rare opportunity for an elite broodmare investment

Here is an opportunity for a new harness racing breeder or an established breeder wanting to enhance their broodmare band.

These mares are presently owned by a Harness Racing New Zealand Breeder Of The Year so these bloodlines are all from the elite end of the broodmare market. Rarely has an opportunity ever become available to invest in such outstanding proven mares.

These three elite race winning proven broodmares have become for sale as a result of so many filly foals arriving out of these mares over the last two years.

Each of the three mares have 42 day positive tests to the hottest stallions on the planet, Bettor’s Delight, Downbytheseaside and Art Major.

Here are the three broodmares;

1) Dancing Diamonds a winner of $343,276 with a best winning time of 1:57.8.

As the dam of the millionairess Princess Tiffany and the multiple Group winner Rock Diamonds, Dancing Diamonds is one of the best daughters of a champion sire and broodmare sire in Bettor’s Delight.

Out of an In The Pocket mare, she ranks as a sister to the outstanding WA pacer Ohoka’s Bondy and a half-sister to a smart NSW pacer in Code Red and four other sub 2:00 winners.

The grand-dam, Bellisimo, left five sub 2:00 winners and four $100,000 earners including the Queensland Derby winner Torbello and was the grand-dam of the Group winning WA mares Sangue Reale and Miss Sangrial.
