Rheinwood Pastoral Company based at Mittagong in NSW is a renowned breeding operation that continually from each and every crop they sell, churn out elite thoroughbreds.
We love the stock of Northern Meteor as does the rest of the market. From our first day of inspections, it was our opinion that Lot 537 was without a moment of hesitation, the number one filly by the sire at the sales.
NORTHERN METEOR / COMEDY CLUB Filly
Now we also have another strong reason for falling in love with her. That is her female pedigree. A pedigree we recently added too with Gr 1 winner REWARD FOR EFFORT.
With a pedigree rating of A 301% and a terrific foaling date of 5 August 2010, from the time this filly walked out of the box she possessed the WOW FACTOR !
This filly is by Northern Meteor from the mare COMEDY CLUB. A winner at 1200m, she is a 1/2 sister to SW BLEVEEKA and SP TORA TORA TORA.
Our filly is COMEDY CLUB'S third foal. Her first foal Club Ha Ha is a winner of 3 races whilst her second foal Veico has been placed this season. Comedy Club is from Live Comedy by Rory's Jester.
She is a Full Sister to the dam of CHUCKLE.
She is a 3/4 sister to MISS PROSPECT (dam of Blue Diamond Winner REWARD FOR EFFORT, CONSULAR) and 3/4 sister to Magic Millions winner CATNIPPED and 3/4 sister to the dam of JOKERS WILD.
She is a 1/2 sister to FULL AT LAST and to the dams of LIFE'S A BOUNTY and SISTER HAVANA.
This is a proven family of 2yo Speed and one of the best families in the Australian and New Zealand Stud Books.
Again this filly has been bred to the awesome ENCOSTA DE LAGO / DANZIG (sire of Danehill) cross responsible for 11 Stakes Winners including 2 Gr1 winners.
Being the fourth last lot on day 3 we were hopeful that we may have got lucky and most buyers were finished for the session. With the stock averaging $111,750 we were concerned that she may have been a bit beyond our wallet. We wanted her. We were prepared to take her home to a price of $130,000. We were worried however that we would miss her as we were concerned she was more a $150,000 filly. However being so late in the day hurt the vendor and helped us a lot. It was fate. After a bidding war Dynamic stopped the battle at $100,000 + GST = $110,000. We purchased her for $20,000 less than our ceiling price.
To indicate what an impressive filly she was to us, this is the first filly we have purchased this sale. The other 4 yearlings are colts.
She will make a brilliant broodmare to REWARD FOR EFFORT when she retires from racing and with this pedigree it's a lovely commercial cross that will have REWARD FOR EFFORT on both sides of the page.
