A star performer for the Tony Gollan stable, Isotope carried the colours of Black Soil Bloodstock to six wins with earnings of $1.25million.

The daughter of Deep Field was twice a Listed winner and finished second in the Group II BRC Champagne Stakes and ATC Arrowfield Stud Stakes, both times beaten by subsequent Group I winners Rothfire and Wild Ruler.

Isotope will be offered as Lot 575, click to see her page.

Isotope again showed her talent at the elite level finishing fourth in last year’s Group I BRC Stradbroke Handicap, again beaten only by G1 winners Alligator Blood, Private Eye and Rothfire.

While the race record is exciting, her pedigree is even more so as Isotope is from a half-sister to dual Group I winner Yankee Rose, who was retired to stud in Japan where her three year-old daughter Liberty Island is now a Group I winner at two and three!
