Who is she?

An attractive, athletic Great Pretender mare - the same stallion that gave us Benie Des Dieux, Lossiemouth and our own Grangee. Her stable name is Greta.

Why her?

The only store filly by Great Pretender to sell her whole year. Great Pretender is a special sire of fillies (for our money the best) so this purchase made very little explanation. He struggles with fertility given his advanced years so the the opportunities for fillies by Great Pretender to come up at public auction are very limited, this is most likely our last chance to buy a Great Pretender filly.

She’s not just by Great Pretender, but her mother Belle Brook, a no slouch 131 rated 2m chaser is already the dam of 142 rated Mortlach.

This profile combined with a jet black colour (very much in the mould of our own Grangee), lightness on her feet and an attentive disposition meant she was one we couldn’t go home without.

What is the cost? 

Each 1% equity share costs €745 and that’s all inclusive of costs (purchase price, syndicate commission, training fees, vets, farrier, our team to look after you and everything else in between) until 1 June 2024 and then just €95 a quarter.

All our shares are sold subject to our terms and conditions, which were crafted with our owners with our years of experience to give you the best possible journey with us.  

Where next?

She’s been broken and pre-trained by Sonny Carey where she showed a really willing attitude with plenty of Great Pretender sparkle. We gave her a hobday which our experience with Great Pretender has told us is an investment worth making. She’s now ready for her second pre-training spell before joining Willie Mullins.

Our plan will be very much in the mould of her paternal half-sister Grangee - win her bumper, try be competitive at the biggest festivals and push to achieve as high a standing as possible as she can.

She should have real residual value too - our last Great Pretender filly Grangee made €120,000 when sold at the end of her racing career.
