Strawberry Hill Stud Dispersal – It’s All About Family- Our Maryanne

Tara Madgwick - Saturday August 19

The highly anticipated Strawberry Hill Stud Dispersal features 57 lots and 22 of them or 38% of the catalogue trace in tail female line to celebrated matriarch Joie Denise and the Deedra branch of this family produced a promising new winner at Newcastle on Saturday.

Lightly raced Frankel mare Our Maryanne has been given plenty of time to mature and the Clarry Conners trained four year-old cast off maiden status when stepped up to 1850m on Saturday, relishing the longer trip to score a dominant three and a half length win at her fourth start.

Our Maryanne was bred by Strawberry Hill Stud, but sold as an unraced three year-old filly on their behalf earlier this year at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale in the Newgate Consignment where she was snapped up by Makybe for just $55,000.

Now a promising winner, Our Maryanne is looking like a savvy investment as she is the first  winner for blueblood More Than Ready (USA) mare This Time Bridie, who will be offered in the upcoming Strawberry Hill Dispersal as Lot 55, but is not in foal having missed to Dundeel.

This Time Bridie, the dam of Our Maryanne is for sale.

This Time Bridie is an unraced half-sister to Group I winner Fenway, the dam of Group I placed Group III winner Williamsburg, and is a grand-daughter of Joie Denise being from her Zabeel daughter Deedra.

There are eight lots in the sale from the Deedra branch of the famed family and they include a yearling half-sister by Street Boss (USA) to Our Maryanne from This Time Bridie that will be offered as Lot 17.
