Mudgway revealed that he plans to re-offer the filly at one of Australia’s major yearling sale sin 2013 where she is bound to attract significant attention.
“We’ve (Grange Thoroughbreds) had tremendous success pinhooking fillies going into the Melbourne Premier Sale and this filly was purchased to be one of our star lots at next year’s sale,” he said.
