80,000 Inglis Easter purchase for McEvoy Mitchell Racing / Belmont Bloodstock  from the Newgate Farm d raft, Meetmein Melbourne is a half-sister to Group II winner Xilong and is the sixth winner from six foals to race from Group III winning Testa Rossa mare Pane in the Glass.

The filly has brought an update for her older winning half-sister by Capitalist called Madam Louvre, who will be offered by Noorilim Park at the Inglis Great Southern Sale as Lot 411 in foal to Wild Ruler in her first season at stud.

Footnote: Meetmein Melbourne was initially named Meetmein Moscow, but in light of world events Melbourne was obviously deemed a better choice!
