Quality Mare Rose ‘N’ Power For Sale on Gavelhouse Plus

Media Release - Monday May 29

Stakes-winning sprinting mare Rose ‘N’ Power (NZ) (Power) will be offered for sale on Gavelhouse Plus this week with bidding closing from 7pm (NZT) on Monday 5th June.

Rose 'n' Power

Rose ‘N’ Power is the winner of six races, including four in succession between May and November of 2021. That winning sequence culminated in the Listed Levin Stakes (1200m), in which she claimed a valuable black-type victory and set a new track record of 1:08.63 for 1200 metres at Otaki.

The second placegetter in the Levin Stakes was Romantic Lady (NZ) (Power), who herself was later sold on Gavelhouse Plus for $325,000.

Rose ‘N’ Power recorded an additional four placings, along with finishing fifth in this season’s Group Two Foxbridge Plate (1200m) and Group Three King’s Plate (1200m). The high-class mare earned more than $176,000 in stakes.

“She’s been a very good mare to us,” co-trainer and part-owner Fred Cornege said. “She hasn’t quite performed at her very best in the current season, but that can happen sometimes. She rose up through the grades so quickly before then, and she reached the pinnacle of the weights in handicap races.

“She ran fifth in the Foxbridge Plate in the spring, and I decided to run her in the Group One Tarzino Trophy (1400m) at Hastings, where that very heavy track took the stuffing out of her completely. She continued to run creditably in every race after that, but just not quite up to her former glory.

“But I do believe she could still be a racing proposition for someone else if they were that way inclined. With the benefit of a nice, long break, she could easily come back and perform to a high level again. But we own her in partnership with Liz Pollard, who has some younger ones on the family going now, so this is the time to put her up for sale.”

Rose 'n' Power has pedigree and performance.

Rose ‘N’ Power is by Power, who is the sire of 26 individual stakes winners and is now making his mark as a broodmare sire. His daughters have produced 13 winners from just 34 starters so far, including three early black-type performers.

The dam of Rose ‘N’ Power is the twice-winning Diamond Rose (NZ), by Danroad, who is also the broodmare sire of champion staying mare Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed).

Diamond Rose is a half-sister to five other winners, including Group Three winner Perfect Scenario (NZ) (Iffraaj) and the Listed winner and Group Two-placed Queens Rose (NZ) (O’Reilly). Their dam is Rosetti Bay (NZ) (Pins), who herself won eight races including the Group Three Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m).

“She comes from a prolific winning family that has a lot of upside,” Cornege said. “She has a Per Incanto half-sister in Australia (three-year-old filly Incanto Rose), and there’s an Almanzor two-year-old and a yearling by U S Navy Flag, and she’s in foal to the top sire Proisir. So there’s plenty of potential for it to just get better and better.

“Rose ‘N’ Power is a lovely mare to handle and has become an absolute professional and a pleasure to do anything with. She just eats, drinks, sleeps and runs.”

Rose ‘N’ Power is currently at Seattle Lodge in Cambridge and inspections can be booked by contacting Fred Cornege on +64 21 732 853
