Multiple stakes daughter of Swiss Ace to sell online
The unreserved auction of multiple stakes winner Miss Federer (Swiss Ace) was launched on Gavelhouse Plus on Tuesday, with the sale set finish at 7pm (NZ time) on Monday March 15.
Bred by Greg Tomlinson’s Nearco Stud and trained by Andrew Carston, Miss Federer raced as an early two-year-old finishing third on her debut outing, before adding by back-to-back victories to her record, including in the Welcome Stakes (Listed, 1000m) on her third start.
She won five of her 14 starts, four of these at stakes level, including the Taranaki 2YO Classic (Gr 3, 1200m). Her dominance saw her earn the champion Southern two-year-old title and the NZB Southern Filly of the Year crown. Her career earnings stand at NZ$163,035.
“Miss Federer was an outstanding racehorse, it’s hard to choose a highlight race,” said Carston.
“She was precocious enough to run early and be a stakes winner twice as a two-year-old in the North and South Islands which is always good and then she was good enough to come back at three and win two more Listed races.
“Having selected her at Karaka and her doing what she did really stamped me as a trainer.
“Her most endearing attributes to me were her constitution, she was as tough as old boots and her will to win, she was exceptionally brave and never said no to a dog fight.”
Purchased by her trainer for a mere NZ$10,000 at Book 2 of the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Yearling Sale in 2018 and she is out of Listed winner Halobelle (My Halo) and is a half-sister to Listed-placed Starlight Angel.
