Producing a good, solid racehorse begins with careful breeding choices.  Our mares are selected for a proven pedigree that compliment our Stallions.  This includes pedigrees that will lead to foals with sex balanced duplications of The Champions in their bloodlines, as well as proven nicks for the making of prepotent foals. We have a high emphasis on quality of type, coupled with sensibility. This creates foals that have the physique and mindset to succeed.   Colour is simply the 'icing on the cake'.

Pictured are some of the lush pastures our broodmares enjoy.

"Pretzel (USA)"

2007 Palomino ASB mare

With a 4 x 4 duplication of Prince John (USA) - the sireline of the much touted Success Express (USA) and Mossman (AUS), this girl is far more than a pretty coat.  Out of a racewinning mare, we have given Pretzel her own page to tell the story of how  we came to attain this beauty.

She has produced an amazing colt now named Hagia Sophia from her USA covering, and is currently in foal to Glacial Gold (USA) for a guaranteed Palomino or cremello (as is Glacial) ASB Thoroughbred.

Affrettarsi

ASB Thoroughbred 2001

Affrettarsi is a Premiere mare in every way.  Previously sold as a broodmare for $100,000 as well as being an $100,000 yearling.  She is a total quality mare with her sister Saleous being the joint top older mare on the Australasian circuit - A MULTIPLE GROUP 1 WINNER, winning the Oaks and over $1.1million in prizemoney.  Affrettarsi's first to run has won 6 races to date.

Her sire Belong To Me (USA) is also the sire of Group One winner Bon Hoffa.

Her dam, Bounteous is by Bletchingly himself.   Her second dam is a full sister to Vain's dam.

Her sire is the stunning Peintre Celebre  WORLD CHAMPION AT 3 YEARS 1st Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe - Gr.1, 12f., Longchamp, in race record time by 5 lengths. 

In foal to Glacial Gold for a BIG deep gold ASB Palomino Throughbred of epic quality with the maternal sire World champion racehorse and the fastest 'Arc' winner ever!!

Emigre's foal is the most anticipated foal for 2013! It will be a once in a lifetime palomino ASB foal so don't hesitate to make your interest known. 

"Coldstream Candy"

ASB Thoroughbred 1994

CURRENTLY IN FOAL TO PROFILE IN STYLE AND FOR SALE

Well what an outstanding mare and a pedigree match with Profile In Style.  We have had pedigree analysis determine this particular mating and it has the recipe to throw up something BIG.

This will be Coldstream Candy's first thoroughbred offspring as she has been breeding elite level Warmblood's at the renowned Coldstream Park.   However her family come from a long list of proven thoroughbreds and this is a match made in heaven.

Coldstream Candy also has rabicano ticking throughout her flanks, barrel and rump which could see genes gel with Profile in the colour department.   However whatever colour this foal turns out it will be one for the serious competitor.

"Marbrowell"

ASB Brown & White Thoroughbred Mare 1997

Another rare find.  An amazing temperamented big solid 16.2hh Dominant White mare.  Marble   is a genuine childs hack type of mare.  Would be a great eventing mare with her cool calm mind and slow twitch type muscle fibres.  She is a gentle giant.

She carries a 4 x 4 duplication of Nasrullah!

Marbrowell is in foal to Profile In Style for a 2013 foal

"Miss Morocco"

ASB Thoroughbred 2004

With superstar show ring looks and a race pedigree to satisfy the top end of the market, this mare is one of our best.   She is a true black raced female by Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE) - his 2003 service fee being $132,000.     And she is a racewinner. 

Sire:  2002 World Horse of the Year, ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (Ire) - 7 x G1 winner and $3.5Milliion$$, who stands at Coolmore Stud. Rock of Gibraltar was 2007 Australian Leading First Crop Sire and to-date he has produced 50 stakes winners and six Group One winners.

Dam:  I Leica (owned by Gerry Harvey)  racwinner and hailing from the great 'Leica' family.  Half sister to Moon Dragon (by Danehill) $332,800.    By Melbourne Cup winning Jeune. 

Miss Morocco has a spectacular pedigree match with Profile In Style (USA).  It is evident the Halo sire line + Danehill / Danzig daughters have a great affinity and is a dominant cross.  This cross has produced many Group 1 winners  including  G1 Golden Slipper winner, Sebring; G1 Victorian Oaks winner,  Sunday Joy & G1 Victorian Derby winner,  Benicio to name just a few. 

An exciting race career that is sure to roll over to a National level show career awaits this future foal.

"Laughyoumay"

2001 White ASB Thoroughbred Mare

What a surprise this foal must have been to her breeders! 

This near maximum expressed sabino (or possibly dominant white) thoroughbred mare has a quality race pedigree.  Her sire Sky Chase is a winner of three Group 1 races, three Group 2 races and two Group 3 races.   He is also the sire of Saintly who won four Group 1 races including the Melbourne Cup and $3.8Million

Her siblings have won in the discipline of dressage and seeing her most impressive light and buoyant movement this comes as no surprise.

She is a refined thoroughbred mare with lovely long legs and a tremendous length of rein.  Race, show or performance shall all be on her foals career possibilities.  Grown up picture coming soon.

This mare just loves people.  She will leave the whole mare herd to stand where she's closest to the house.  Check out the picture below where she's protecting our daughter Lily from the other horses. This mare would be a favourite even as a solid bay.  She is a one in a million and not just for her colouring.  What a joy she is.

"Slip Catch"

Roan ASB Thoroughbred 1993

Above Slip catch as she is today. Below her sire Catch A Bird (NZ).

As the only registered reproducing progeny of the brindle sire Catch A Bird (NZ) this mare is the Matriarch of the registered roan thoroughbreds in existence in the World today.   

There is only three living registered mares with the roan gene that is known - Slip Catch and her two daughter.  WINNING COLOURS FARM has been lucky enough to have secured all three mares. 

With her maternal sire Bletchingly himself, and with a daughter being a roan multiple racewinner,  this line and her are not just pretty coats. 

We look forward to keeping the rarest colour gene in thoroughbreds alive with Slip Catch and her daughters.

With an order in from Europe for a blue roan weanling this will be the first roan thoroughbred in the Northern Hemisphere.

See her daughter Lillac Hill below

"Lillac Hill"

Roan ASB Thoroughbred 2005

Colour or not on the resulting foal - it will be a stunning individual.  We breed so that the foal will be outstanding as a solid colour and if the broken colour does occur well that's even better!

The only race winning (multiple) roan thoroughbred mare ever in existence.

Lillac Hill is the "cream of the crop" when it comes to the only three roan registered TB's alive in the world.  A lovely big strong mare, she is a daughter of Slip Catch (see above) and does not have an inbreeding 2 x 2 duplication as Lavender Fields does (the third and only other registered roan thoroughbred which we sold back in April).

As one of the only few roan thoroughbreds in existence she is a valuable asset and we look forward to keeping this rare and super colour alive.

This mare has a terrific race pedigree being a grandaughter of both Bletchingly and Noble Bijou. As well as Catch A Bird winning six races.

Note that the picture bottom left is her winter coat which only grows the brown hairs.  She is a much lighter roan in the summer months. She is in foal to Profile In Style (USA). 

"Soroya (NZ) "

ASB Thoroughbred 1995

Above:  the big girl Soroya (NZ)

Above:  The living lengend Zabeel (NZ)

We've saved the best for last.

What can't we say about this mare!  Standing at just under 17hh this daughter of  Zabeel (NZ) was a  multiple racewinner.  And what a type she throws.   Her half brother was exported to Hong Kong - NOW WITH WINNINGS CLOSE TO $$HALF A MILLION DOLLARS $$ She has a beautiful easy and gentle nature which makes her even more valuable in our eyes. 

Dam:  Ultra Vain (AUS) multiple Group placed and 5 wins $46,350 (1980's).  Also the dam of Idol Judge $486,637

Sire: Zabeel (NZ) 19:7-1-4 $1.1Million.  Sire of Octagonal 28:14-7-1 $5.8Million and Might & Power $5.2Million.

She is back in foal for a dilute thoroughred in 2013.  Make no mistake it will be a hard task to get this one off my hands.
