White Lightning Strikes Again at Windsor Park

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 2
Celebrated white broodmare The Opera House has done it again producing her third white foal in a row at Windsor Park Stud in New Zealand.

This year The Opera House delivered a filly foal by the farm's exciting new stallion Charm Spirit (IRE), a handsome bay Group I winning son of champion sire Invincible Spirit.





Windsor Park sold a white High Chaparral (IRE) filly from The Opera House this year at the NZB Premier Yearling Sale for $450,000 to Japanese buyer Dearest Club and that filly is now in Japan where she will undoubtedly turn heads when she steps out on race day.

She is pictured below at trackwork in Japan this week.



There is also a white yearling colt from the first crop of Group I VRC Newmarket Handicap winner Shamexpress which will be a highlight of the Windsor Park draft at Karaka 2017.

By champion sire Zabeel, The Opera House is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to the great champion Might and Power and has had two previous foals of normal colour by Big Brown (USA) and Pluck (USA) that are yet to race.
