<\/a><\/p>\nCatalogued as Lot 87, the filly is by the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) winner\u2019s sire Ocean Park and is out of a half-sister to her dam Choux Mania. This filly\u2019s dam Laced Up is also a half-sister to Group One winners Miss Wilson and Jimmy Choux. The latter won five Group One races including the New Zealand Derby (2400m) and Rosehill Guineas (2000m), was runner-up in the Cox Plate (2040m) and was New Zealand\u2019s Horse of the Year in 2010-11.<\/p>\n
Laced Up is herself the dam of four winners from five foals to race, headed by Gr.3 Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes (1400m) winner Fancify.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a three-quarter-sister to Ohope Wins and a lovely filly that\u2019s going to be a very nice prospect for somebody,\u201d Haunui\u2019s managing director Mark Chitty said. \u201cShe\u2019s a very nice-moving filly.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a late foal, born on the 23rd of November, so she\u2019s just needed that little bit of extra time to mature, and this online sale has given her that opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s from a great family and is already a half-sister to a Melbourne Group Three winner in Fancify, and the sire Ocean Park is having an outstanding season.\u201d<\/p>\n
The well-related filly is part of a six-strong draft for Haunui Farm, who will also offer a Sword Of State filly (Lot 15), three yearlings by their own former shuttle stallion Ribchester and a colt by Redwood.<\/p>\n
\u201cSword Of State couldn\u2019t have started much better than he has, both with his first two-year-olds on the track and with his yearlings in the sale ring,\u201d Chitty said. \u201cThis filly is out of a stakes-winning Savabeel mare, Ray\u2019s Girl, who also ran fourth in the New Zealand Oaks. She\u2019s left five winners already from six foals to race.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a really nice, athletic filly. We never really thought about preparing her for Karaka, but the owner decided to take advantage of this opportunity with the online sale. It\u2019s developed into a really good sale, and I think one of the advantages is that these horses never really have that pressure put on them in the spring. They\u2019re left to grow out and develop. There have been some terrific horses coming out of the sale in recent years and hopefully that will continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also selling some really nice yearlings by Ribchester. Although we didn\u2019t stand him here last season, he\u2019s got some promising horses coming through. We\u2019ve seen some two-year-olds this season with really good ability (including recent winners Ronaldo and Belle Rebelle), and I think there will be more to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cI particularly like the filly out of Fullinbloom (Lot 67). The mare has had only two to the races, the Group Two performer Whiskey \u2018n Roses and the talented filly Ruby Rush, who both still have plenty of racing promise ahead of them. This filly is a chestnut, like most of the family has been, and she\u2019s a beautiful mover.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sires represented include the likes of Proisir, Per Incanto, Alabama Express, Ocean Park, Toronado, Shocking, Contributer, Satono Aladdin, So You Think, Profondo, Almanzor, Hellbent, Ace High and Sword Of State.<\/p>\n
