Durston Sister for Sale Tattersalls December Online

Consigned by Hobby Horse Stud, Casuarina is a full sister to Durston who won the Caulfield Cup following on from victories in the Group III Newcastle Cup and Wyong Cup.

He was controversially scratched from the Melbourne Cup due to an x-ray issue which has subsequently been found to be of no significance with an autumn campaign next on the agenda for the Chris Waller trained rising star stayer.

Casuarina is also a half-sister to Champion Older German Mare and dual Group III winner Cubanita and is a placed Sea the Moon mare, whose third dam is Group I Yorkshire Oaks winner and Irish Oaks third Key Change.

Bred by Kirsten Rousing’s Lanwades Stud, four-year-old Casuarina will be offered in foal on her maiden cover to Group I French Derby winner Study of Man, the only son of the internationally renowned Deep Impact standing at stud in the United Kingdom.
