Quilly Park are expecting 7 foals on the ground later this year by some of Australia’s top stallions carefully chosen for their pedigrees in order to maximise the potential of our broodmares.
AVIENUS
Group 2 winning mare Avienus is currently in foal to Darley sire Street Boss (Street Cry x Blushing Ogygian).
‘Street Boss is the fastest son of Champion stallion Street Cry. A three-time record holder over 1100 and 1200 metres.
Street Boss is the sire of Group 1 Newmarket Handicap hero The Quarterback as well as Group horses Thiamandi, Petits Filous and Scarlet Billows’.

Nominations Manager – Darley Stallions
Avienus‘ first foal, a filly by High Chaparral, sold well at Inglis’ Premier Yearling Sales in March 2016.
The first of Avienus‘ progeny to race Ad Finem (x Fastnet Rock) won his first race, a three-year-old maiden over 1,000m first time out at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club last year.
RUBYONE
Rubyone is expecting her first foal to a stallion renowned for speed Denman (Lonhro x Peach).
‘Undefeated short of a mile after his debut, Denman was a brilliant winner of the Group 1 Golden Rose.
‘His yearlings have sold for up to $400,000 and his two biggest and best books are his current two-year-old and yearling crops’.

PLAN THE PEACE and WAITUI BELLE
Plan the Peace and Waitui Belle are both in foal to Helmet (Exceed And Excel x Accessories).
His pedigree is littered with black type and his Timeform rating of 127 was higher than that of both Exceed and Excel and Danehill.
‘The best two-year-old by the world’s best sire of two-year-olds. Helmet won the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas in record time.
‘His first Australian-bred crop include Group 2 colt Archives, while his first European crop is headed by Group 1 winner Thunder Snow’.

Plan the Peace has produced three winners from four foals to date, including Mystyko (by Sakhee’s Secret) a winner over 1,200m in the final quarter of 2016 in Quilly Park’s colours.
Waitui Belle‘s Per Incanto filly Sally Sells Shells is currently in training for her maiden season.
VARONE
Varone is in foal to Darley stallion Reset (Zabeel x Assertive Lass). Reset has produced some outstanding horses in recent seasons and the Quilly Park team are excited about what this mating can achieve.
‘No Victorian stallion can match Reset’s 6.2% Stakes winners to runners.
‘He is the sire of multiple G1 winner Fawkner, Cox Plate heroine Pinker Pinker, Group 1 VRC Oaks winner Set Square and this year’s Epsom Handicap winner Hauraki’.

FRIENDWITHBENEFITS
Friendwithbenefits is in foal for the first time to Arrowfield Stud’s Panzer Division (Redoute’s Choice x Desert Fight).
Panzer Division’s impressive pedigree speaks for itself. His dam is Group 1 winning Desert Fight and his sire is Champion sire Redoute’s Choice.
His debut win at two-year-old showed his exceptional ability early, his biggest career win was the Group 3 Ming Dynasty Stakes on only his third start.
Injury forced an early retirement from racing after just 7 starts and his defeat of several older Group 1 winners.
ANANTHA
Anantha is expecting her first foal to Arrowfield Stud’s 4-time Group 1 winning sprinter Olympic Glory (Choisir x Acidanthera).
A Champion two-year-old , a Champion three-year-old miler and a four-time Group 1-winning sprinter, Olympic Glory joined the Arrowfield roster in 2015 after a superlative £1.4 million European career.
Olympic Glory won eight of his 15 starts over 1200-1600 metres at two, three & four.
He was a Group 1 winner in each of those three seasons and was unbeaten at 1400 metres.
