Dam of HK G1 Star Sprinter A Riversdale Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Saturday May 27
Riversdale Farm are offering a stellar selection of 17 mares at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this week headed by the dam of recent Group I Chairman's Sprint Prize winner Lucky Bubbles.

Bubble Below is a top class producerA sensational performer for the Francis Lui stable, Sebring five year-old Lucky Bubbles has been super consistent throughout his career, but soared to new heights this year when beating the best speedsters in Hong Kong to win his first Group I race.

Second in the event last year to Chautauqua, Lucky Bubbles atoned for that defeat with a tenacious victory in the 1200 metre sprint, his eighth win from 19 starts.

Lucky Bubbles is the first foal of Hussonet (USA) mare Bubble Below, who will be offered as Lot 1086 as agent for Musk Creek Farm with a positive test to his sire Sebring.

Stakes-placed Bubble Below comes from a prolific Black Type family and is a three-quarter sister-in-blood to Group II winner Colorado Claire, the dam of this season's unbeaten juvenile Gunnison, winner of the Group II ATC Todman Stakes.

Gunnison is also destined for Hong Kong having been sold at the inaugural Inglis Chairman's Sale for $1.4 million earlier this year.

Completely free of Danehill blood, Bubble Below is an easy mare to mate to any of the top commercial sires and her sire Hussonet has developed a real affinity for Redoute's Choice and his sire sons opening up a myriad of attractive options.

Jessy Belle wins the Matriarch Stakes - Grant Courtney Also set to star for Riversdale is high class racemare Jessy Belle, who will be offered as Lot 728 on behalf of Jeff Allis of Epona Park

Winner of the Group II VRC Matriarch Stakes during the Melbourne Spring Carnival, Jessy Belle has been stakes-placed again since the catalogue went to print finishing third in the Listed ATC Lord Mayor's Cup at Rosehill.

A quality racemare with prizemoney topping $780,000, Jessy Belle is by Rock of Gibraltar (IRE), who has sired over 100 stakes-winners worldwide.

She is the best of three winners from Unconditional Love, a daughter of dual Group I winner Flitter.
