Session topper at Karaka

Berkley Stud’s Churchill filly ex Astrid topped the first day of Book 2 when purchased by Roger James/Robert Wellwood for NZ$200,000 .

She is a star filly. She has got everything. She is by a great racehorse and she has got the potential to be a Karaka Million horse... I followed Churchill’s whole career. He was a very fast horse… Roger James

Pedigree Power! 20 sons of Galileo have sired Gr.1 winners. His full-sister Clemmie , and grandam Airwave , were both Champions and Gr.1-winning 2yos over 1200m. This is also the family of Gr.1-winning sprinters Jwala (1000m) and Dream Of Dreams (1200m). An ideal pedigree for Danehill line mares. "A deep-chested, imposing colt who, on looks at any rate, is built for speed rather than distance" The Sunday Telegraph , 7 th May 2017, after the 2,000 Guineas-Gr.1 “[breeders] look certain to give him strong support in an era when the fashion in the stallion market is for sires likely to produce winning two-year-olds and sprinter/milers." Timeform Racehorses of 2017 "[His fee] seems generous for a horse with Churchill’s pedigree and credentials and he is certainly among the better racehorses to shuttle here."
