$425,000 Nicconi Filly a Pinhook Winner for Lime Country

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 10

Widden Stud’s value stallion Nicconi is best known as the sire of the world’s best sprinter Nature Strip and while he might not be the height of fashion in commercial terms, he is a rock solid sire and delivered a big result for Lime Country Thoroughbreds at Magic Millions on Friday when his filly from No Crying sold for $425,000.

$425,000 Nicconi filly from No Crying

Now the highest priced yearling by Nicconi ever sold, she was a cracking type from an elite female family and was duly snapped by Sheamus Mills Bloodstock.

The star filly was bred by Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock and was offered as a weanling last year at MM National by Bhima Thoroughbreds where she was picked up by Lime Country Thoroughbreds for $120,000.

Nicconi filly from No Crying as a weanling when she made $120,000.

She is the first foal of metro winning Exceed and Excel mare No Crying, who was a $600,000 Inglis Easter purchase back in 2020 and is a half-sister to Group III winner No More Tears, who has found fame and fortune as the dam of Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Ozzmosis.

No Crying is a grand-daughter of influential matriarch Procure, the dam of Group II winner Hips Don’t Lie, dam of stakes-winners Acrobat, Lake Geneva and Group III winner Ennis Hill, the dam of Group II winner Learning to Fly.

It’s a serious commercial family that bristles with fillies being bred up to the best sires and you can see why Sheamus Mills was keen to grab a little piece of it!

No Crying produced a filly by Dundeel last year and is back in foal to him again.
