MILANOVA in action
She sold in 2008 for a Record Price as a Broodmare at $5 million.
Our current syndication is a filly by ENCOSTA DE LAGO / PRETTY FLAMINGO.
She is the Grand-daughter of MILANOVA so to say she is regally bred is an understatement. Being by ENCOSTA DE LAGO adds to the genetic interest because that this is the Extended Family Pedigree of ENCOSTA DE LAGO.

Michael Kirwan
General Manager
In 2008 said:
“Blue Hens” like Milanova rarely become available.
“Mares like this do not come on the market often anywhere in the world,” Kirwan said.
“Genuine good horses like her that come on the market always attract big money. She's got a world class pedigree & Coolmore has enjoyed a lot of success with the family, with not only Holy Roman Emperor, but also Encosta De Lago, who was Champion Sire that year”.
“Hers is a family that has been making tremendous money over the years and it has just got better. When we sold Milanova as a yearling for $700,000 her brother, Holy Roman Emperor, was three years away from being born.”
Colm Santry
Sales & Nominations Manager
In 2008 said:
“This is one of the best pedigrees in the world and obviously the filly has great residual value.”
“This is the family of Coolmore’s own sire Encosta De Lago, who was crowned Australia’s Champion Sire that season (2007-08).”
“We’re looking forward to getting Holy Roman Emperor back to Australia (2008) for his second season this year after receiving outstanding reports about his first foals and it’s wonderful to be able to buy another member of this great family,” Santry said.
Sebastian Hutch
Sales & Marketing Manager
Said in August 2013:
Milanova is one of the best bred mares on the Planet as a Gr3 and LR winning and dual Gr1placed full-sister to Holy Roman Emperor.
Given the success of the Galileo/Danehill cross – (it’s produced 19SWs from 108 runners including Frankel, Intello, Teofilo & Golden Lilac) Milanova has been mated exclusively with Galileo since she went to Ireland.
(1) She’s in-foal to him
(2) She has a filly foal at foot by him.
(3) She has a yearling colt by him
(4) She has a 2yo filly named Cantabella who is in-training with David Wachman in Ireland.
She’s got plenty of stock to run for her over the next few years and is an exciting broodmare.
High Quality bloodlines are scares.
This filly may become a fabled “Blue Hen” herself. She comes from the right family. Don’t let rare opportunities pass.
