Settling in to their new sensational Morningside property in the Nagambie, the Rowsthorn family are making a concerted effort to bolster their impressive broodmare band, and after securing Frankel mare Ludisia at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale, they were also in action with JHB at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, securing three beautiful mares.
The first purchase was the multiple Group winner, including at Group 2 level, Rubisaki, for $1,000,000 from the Yarraman Park Stud draft, who offered her on behalf of Prime Thoroughbreds. She was an outstanding race filly, winner of six races on the bounce, and has the looks to match. She looks a perfect match with Written Tycoon and the resultant offspring will be in great demand at the yearling sales.

Our second purchase with Morningside was Group 2 Reisling Stakes and Listed Moomba Plate winner Glistening, secured for $775,000 from the Newgate Farm draft. She is another beautiful type, and by the very exciting stallion Zoustar. She again is a bullseye match with Written Tycoon, bringing great looks and precocity to the mating.

Our final purchase with Morningside at this sale was Dollymolly, a beautiful mare by I Am Invincible secured for $775,000 in foal to Zoustar. She was herself a $625,000 yearling and comes from an outstanding commercial family, being a half-sister to stakes winner Harlem River, and closely related to a slew of high-priced yearlings from the family of Everest winner Yes Yes Yes. She too likely heads for a date with Written Tycoon.
