Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 15 Journalists Share Posted August 15 Champion mare Imperatriz will be mated with emerging young sire Pierata this spring, Yulong has confirmed. In May, the breeding and racing giant won the battle to secure the world’s highest-rated sprinting mare at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for a Southern Hemisphere record of $6.6 million. The daughter of I Am Invincible won 10 Group 1 races and almost $7 million in prizemoney during a glittering career on the racetrack.

Pierata served a career-high 191 mares last season and will stand for $66,000 in 2024. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
