Bred by the Williams’s Little Avondale Stud, the daughter of their resident sire Per Incanto had originally been offered for sale at NZB Karaka Book 2 but was passed in on a reserve of $40,000.

She was subsequently retained to race with partners who placed her in the care of Mike Moroney who oversaw her winning over $3million, highlighted by Group One wins in the Darley Classic and Newmarket Handicap, both down the famed Flemington straight.

Roch ‘N’ Horse will now be a part of what promises to be a red-hot book of mares heading to Rich Hill Stud’s Proisir.

Proisir is the “man of the moment” in NZ, having sired five Group One winners in the current season and a recent share changed hands at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale to Godolphin for $400,000.
