She’s Extreme is safely back at Coolmore Australia in foal to Justify and Tutta La Vita has had a couple of runs in the US without finding the winner’s circle and was last seen running second at Gulfstream on February 22.

In Her Time was in foal to I Am Invincible when purchased at the sale and produced a colt from the mating Time Lapse, that was retained. She then produced colts by Written Tycoon that were both sold as yearlings to Tom Magnier, the first made $750,000 and the second was sold at Magic Millions this year for $1.8million.

Samaready was carrying the Golden Slipper winner Shinzo at this sale.

Four mares sold for $1million or more with the top seller In Her Time ($2million), who was bought off the track by Newgate and then re-sold the following year in foal to I Am Invincible.

Next highest was Samaready ($1.8million), who was bought by Tom Magnier in foal to Snitzel with the resulting foal being Golden Slipper winner Shinzo, who stands at Coolmore a fee of $55,000 with his first foals expected this spring.

Samaready proved to be a troubled producer after having Shinzo and was exported to the Northern Hemisphere in 2022 and appears to have had a foal by Justify last year.
