The blue-blooded VIA SIENNA is a half-sister to Australia’s current best racehorse VIA SISTINA, who was bought by Yulong last year at the Tattersalls December Mares Sale for 2.7million guineas and has taken all before her in Australia for new trainer Chris Waller.

A Group I winner in Ireland of the Pretty Polly Stakes, Via Sistina has since added further Group I wins in Australia to her resume taking out the Group I MVRC Cox Plate in track record time as well as the Group I VRC Champions Stakes, Turnbull Stakes and the ATC Ranvet Stakes and Winx Stakes.
