Got the news today that Priscilla Rocks (Pictured Left: Photo Credit Bill Crabb) has been retired. Not the news we hoped for as I used to love watching her go around, however it is also exciting as it is not everyday you get the chance to welcome such a mare into you breeding operation.
A big thanks goes to John and Tracey for retiring her before she broke down. Also I hope Ollie got a great thrill out of racing her.
So as it stands she will retire with $115,710 in the bank and a fastest time of 1:58.9. She was twice placed at the highest level in the Golden Slipper at 2 and the WA Oaks at 3. She also won a prelude of the Oaks, a heat and consolation of the Australasian Breeders Crown and finished third in the Daintys Daughter Classic.
Now just to decide what to breed her to, we are always open to suggestions. She is not a big mare, although her mother Graceland is. Graceland had very little point to point speed and while Priscilla had more, she could still use some extra speed injected into her foals.
