Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 22

The highly anticipated Strawberry Hill Stud Dispersal features 57 lots and a good number of the broodmares are in foal and Lot 44, LA Girl has added considerably to her worth in producing a glorious colt by 2021 European Horse of the Year St Mark’s Basilica (Fr).

LA Girl was bought by Strawberry Hill for $360,000 at the 2019 Magic Millions Yearling Sale and from a brief career of just five starts the daughter of Not a Single Doubt was able to win a race and was fourth in the Group III VRC Ottawa Stakes as a spring two year-old. She comes from a big Black Type family featuring Group I winner Hasahalo and Group winners Savvy Nature and Addictive Nature.
