“ has nine yearlings in Book 1, including Lot 360 – a Bay C**t out of the blue-blooded Group One winner (NZ) ( )” New Zealand Bloodstock
Phoenix Park will offer behalf of a number of leading breeders in NZ, including Terry Archer (Rockford Lodge),
“The thing that strikes me first and foremost about the yearlings we are offering this year is just how good the quality is across the entire draft,” principal Janine Dunlop said.
Dunlop is also quick to point out the qualities of Lot 360, a c**t by American Pharoah out of La Diosa.
“The La Diosa c**t is probably one of the most powerful I have had and is just a gorgeous horse, she said. “I’m very excited by him…
His pedigree is impeccable and I doubt whether you would find many yearlings that have two individual Gr.1 winners in their pedigree updates for the sale like he does ( and ).

📓 Lot 360 is another close relative to The Chosen One, with Phoenix Park offering an c**t out of Champion 3YO Filly in NZ (NZ) (So You Think). This is her first foal

Lot 354, the ex filly is one of the yearlings that ‘Phoenix Park principal’ Janine Dunlop believes could be one of her best, with the granddaughter of Gr.2 winner , the dam of former top 3YO filly , a real standout.

“When I talk about fillies that come from families that don’t often sell their females, Lot 354 is the one that springs to mind first,” she said.

➡️“Her pedigree is impeccable and I doubt whether you would find many yearlings that have two individual Group One winners in their pedigree updates for the sale like she does...
( and ).

✅“She is an outstanding type and you can see so much of both So You Think and Star Affair coming out in her.
