New Arrivals for Willow Park Mares

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday July 29

The delayed Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale as a result of pandemic has resulted in a number of mares producing foals before the sale, two of them offered by Willow Park Stud on Wednesday.

Lot 516 is imported mare Zone Regard (IRE), who produced her first foal earlier this morning, a lovely filly by American Pharoah (USA).
