Mr Mozart filly well composed

[Wandering Eyes]

The first foal by Highview Stud stallion Mr Mozart has arrived with breeder James Chapman of Jamieson Park delighted with the filly which is out of the Almanzor mare Qdos, a half-sister to black-type performers Sacred Master, Kia Ora Jewel and Tears of an Angel.

Chapman part-owned Mr Mozart during his racing career and has doubled down on the Group Two winning son of Snitzel now that he has retired to Highview Stud.

“I have 13 mares in foal to him at Jameison Park and he has 79 in foal in total,” Chapman said.

“The mare foaled down at Haunui Farm and the team there thought she was a pretty good foal. My crew here at Jamieson Park are all very impressed.

“If we can get another dozen like her, we will be very happy.”

Mr Mozart is out of the impeccably bred Group Three winner, Euro Angel, a half-sister to Group winners Leebaz, Polish Knight and Zebrowski.

“He was probably best around 1400m and he was a tough front-running horse,” Chapman said.

“We had the stallion parade at Highview Stud last year and Mr Mozart certainly impressed. Quite frankly, if we didn’t have that stallion parade, I don’t think we would have got half the bookings we did.

“Anyone who has seen him in the flesh can see what a quality stallion he is.”

Chapman’s mares in foal to Mr Mozart include the lightly-raced stakes performer Just A Floozie, a daughter of I Am Invincible out of the Group One winner Thee Auld Floozie.

“She is due in the next three weeks,” Chapman said.

“She broke her maiden by beating Orchestral and Molly Bloom and could have been anything, but unfortunately, we didn’t see the best of her. “We have a good range of mares that we sent to Mr Mozart, so he will get every chance.”
