Mick Price had this to say about the filly “…Shamardal is one of those rare stallions that upgrades his mares. I have been chasing the right type of Shamardal yearling for a while now and have finally secured one. Close to 10% of Shamardal starters win black type which is a sign that he is a great stallion. This filly reminds me of Gallica in that she has that male quality feel. She looks like a tough colt and we think that is always a good sign in a filly. She has superb bone and strong feet and is a well muscled filly. We feel this filly will be a later 2yo and then be aimed at as a spring three year old at the Classic Races before heading to Sydney in the Autumn of her three year old career…”
