The RTD team including bloodstock agentĀ  John Foote have been keen on Churchill for some time. Last year at the Tattersall’s Sales in the UK and Arqana in France we missed out on two yearlings that just sold for too much. We then missed out on two in Australia where his first yearlings went through in January and February. So when we went to Adelaide Magic Millions Sales in March the instructions to John were very clear, find us a nice Churchill filly.

Why Churchill you ask? Simple he is the only son of Galileo standing at stud to win a Group 1 as a 2YO. He won 7 straight races between his 2YO and 3YO season and 4 of them were at Group 1 level. In short this is the fastest son of Galileo to stand at stud in Australia!

While we had missed out on a couple of Churchill’s we knew there would be plenty going through sales around Australia and when John saw this filly in Adelaide we just had to have her and we couldn’t believe our luck when we purchased her for only $30k. She’s not pretty but she is a tank..and she looks just like her old man with a huge back end, huge girth and strong shoulder.

The fillies dam Life’s Zerprise is by Choisir and won twice over middle distances and she is only the second foal of the mare. Life’s Zerprise is a half sister to Zerprise Us All who is the dam of the very smart First Division that RTD race and we will see that filly kick off her career in the next month or two.

This filly will not be pushed along too early and will be given time, we have chosen Peter Moody to train the filly and he was very excited to take her on seeing John Foote had selected her. Peter needs no introduction when it comes to training horses and this filly will get every opportunity on the track.
