$370,000 Palentino  filly from Wings of Alice.

The powerhouse bay was bred Ralph Satchell and sold through the draft of his family owned Willow Grove Stud.

The record breaking filly is a half-sister to four winners from as many to race, including Malaysian stakes winner Violet from a family packed with Black Type performers including current season Group III winners Written Beauty and Immortal Love.


The filly was purchased by Ryan Balfour, who trains her promising half-brother Outlaws Revenge, a winner of three of his four starts to date.


Palentino was a dual Group I winner on the track and his oldest are now 2YO’s.

The imposing chestnut has been well supported by breeders - covering books of 112 (2017), 155 (2018), 145 (2019) & 146 (2020) during his four years at stud.
