Tara Madgwick - Monday September 12

A brilliantly fast Written Tycoon mare, whose dazzling speed carried her to Group I wins in the MRC Oakleigh Plate and MVRC AJ Moir Stakes, Pippie was a showstopper at the 2021 Inglis Chairman’s Sale selling for $1.8million and has produced a stunning first foal.
