2nd-HSN, ¥9,680,000 ($89k), Maiden, 3yo, 1400m
ROSE PHARAOH (AUS) (f, 2, American Pharoah–Roz {GB}, by Teofilo {Ire}) is the second Australian-bred foal to make the races to from her dam, a listed winner and runner-up in the G1 Shadwell Fillies' Mile while under the care of Ed Dunlop in 2012 and later purchased privately after being RNAd for 550k gns in foal to Oasis Dream (GB) at the 2014 Tattersalls December Mares sale. Roz would have appealed to an Australian buyer, as her half-brother Hartnell (GB) (Authorized {Ire}) was an eight-time winner for Godolphin down under, including four Group 1 events at distances from 1400-2400 meters while also finishing third in a G1 Melbourne Cup. Rose Pharaoh was an A$150,000 buyback at the 2020 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. B-Go Bloodstock (NSW)

It feels very healthy,” Sebastian Hutch, Inglis's General Manager of Bloodstock Sales and Marketing told TDNAusNZ.
