G2 Performer Famila Retiring to Cambridge Stud

Media Release - Monday April 11

Group Two performer Familia has been retired.

Quality Makfi mare Familia will be a new addition to the Cambridge Stud broodmare band.

The Lance Noble-trained mare finished her career on a high when winning her final race at Avondale earlier this month.

The victory was her fourth in 24 raceday appearances, adding to her eight placings, including the Gr.2 Westbury Classic (1400m), Gr.3 Bonecrusher Stakes (1400m) and Listed Hallmark Stud Handicap (1200m).

Noble said she had done a good job for breeder-owners Brendan and Jo Lindsay of Cambridge Stud, and would now head to the broodmare paddock ready for an early service in the spring.

“We have retired Familia. She did a great job. She had been in work a long time and that race at Avondale was a nice win,” Noble said.

“There wasn’t a lot left for her and she was going to be bred next season anyway, so we thought why not retire her on a winning note?

“She has retired fit and healthy and I am looking forward to seeing some of her foals come through the stable.”

While her spring mating has yet to be decided, Noble said Cambridge Stud stallion Almanzor would be a good choice.

“She isn’t very big and he puts a bit of size into his progeny,” Noble said. - NZ RAcing Desk
