Bob and Sandra Peters have become some of the most successful owner breeders in the country and one of the horses that started it all for them was dual Group I winner Miss Margaret, who passed away at age 27 at Holbrook Thoroughbreds over the weekend.
Winner of the 1996 Group I South Australian Oaks (2500m) and 1996 Group I VRC Chrysler Stakes (1600m), the daughter of Marscay won seven races and over $580,000 in prizemoney.
At stud, Miss Margaret produced nine foals, eight to race and seven winners highlighted by Group II winner Confront, stakes-winner Celebrity Miss and stakes-placed Seafarer and Rafferty.
Julie Harris of Holbrook Thoroughbreds noted on her Facebook page - You will be totally missed at Holbrook Thoroughbreds . Spending 14 years with us on the farm, first as a broodmare and then as the best nanny any farm could ask for to look after the youngsters. Thanks to the Peters family for allowing us to keep her.
