Bred in NZ,,specifically Highview Stud in Hamilton
Purchased for NZ$16,000 at the 1989 New Zealand Magic Millions sale. Later sold on to OZ owners for NZ$150,000

She was a mighty mare. In 1991 won the Cups double (first mare in more than 50 years to complete that) & the Mackinnon Stakes. Her 1992 Australian Cup win was outstanding.

She was overlooked for the Hall of Fame for a while there, but justifiably inducted in 2012. That year also included Takeover Target, Octagonal, Redcraze & High Caste.
