Winter Woolies bidding kicked off this weekend

As we kick off bidding today; we had many pedigrees updated this week ready for the sale. Some highlights from Alan Parker include:
Lot 36
Consigned by Peter O’Shea Prepared by Manx Park
The Modern Art mare Shez Juslika is being offered this weekend as Lot 26 in the Nutrien Winter Woolies Sale and at Albion Park on Tuesday her 4yo son Feels Lika Boss won his fourth race from Grigora and Remember Eve rating 1:56.0 for the 1660 metres.
Shez Juslika p,1:57.6 won six races and her only three foals of racing age are all winners including the 2022 2yo Smirks Lika Boss which is in fact unbeaten at his only two starts this season.
Shez Juslika isn’t in foal at the moment which means this 100% producer can be bought this weekend and then prepared for an early breeding in three months time.
She is by Modern Art which has already sired the dams of 171 winners in Australia with 14 of them earning $100,000.
Five of those 14 are by either Rocknroll Hanover or sons of Rocknroll Hanover.

Lot 51
Consigned & Prepared by Durham Park Standardbreds
The opening race at Bathurst on Wednesday evening saw the Betting Line 3yo Our George Boston bring up his fourth win in impressive fashion downing Tulhurst Terror and Laurie Dee as a warm $1.60 favourite.
His half-sister Fiscal Fantasy p,1:57.6 is Lot 51 in this weekend’s Winter Woolies Sale and she is in foal to first season sire Ride High with a last service date of 14th December so she should be foaling in mid-November.
Fiscal Fantasy is a young mare and had her first foal, a filly by Auckland Reactor in October 2021.
Fiscal Fantasy is by Western Terror from the well-performed Village Jasper mare Whispering Lass p,1:59.3 $129,323 which is a half-sister to the dam of Atomic Red p,1:50.3 $408,086, Runaway Red p,1:53.5 $332,892, Power Of Red p,1:50.4 $288,425, Smooth Baht p,1:49.5 $146,689 and My Dandy p,1:54.4 $118,819.

Lot 34
Consigned & Prepared by Atworthy Park
Wednesday afternoon at Bunbury saw the opening event at the meeting taken out by American Ideal 4yo Soho Gigolo which led throughout over the 2100 metres and rated a career best 1:56.9 to down Cavalry Call and Trittrittbangbang.
Soho Gigolo is the first foal from the unraced Real Desire mare Unique Desire which will be offered as Lot 34 in the Nutrien Winter Woolies Sale this weekend.
Unique Desire is being offered in foal to former USTA 3yo Pacer of the Year Downbytheseaside whose first Australasian crop started racing as 2yos in 2022.
Her last date of service was November 29th so she ought to foal late October or very early November this year.
Although she was unraced Unique Desire is a half-sister to eight winners including former Australian 4yo or older Mare of the Year Nolarama p,1:56.8 $221,600.
So strong is the pedigree that the progent of her dam Forest Glory and Unique Desire fill the page.
