Blue Gum Farm Welcome First Foal of the Season

Tara Madgwick - Monday August 4

Victorian nursery Blue Gum Farm announced on Monday the arrival of their first foal of the season and there is no mistaking the sire of this gorgeous filly.

Sejardan, click for more info.

Her sire Sejardan was making his own news earlier this year with a string of good weanling sale results and his prominent white blaze is front and centre on this beautiful filly from Pride of Dubai mare It’s So Easy.

Sejardan filly from It's So Easy starts the breeding season off at Blue Gum Farm.

Bred by Trilogy Racing, she is the first foal of unraced It’s So Easy, who was bought by Trilogy for $100,000 as a yearling at Magic Millions Adelaide and comes from the legendary South Australian ‘Discreet’ family.

It’s So Easy is a grand-daughter of Group III winner She’s Discreet with the family also producing countless other ‘Discreet’ stakes-winners including Group I winner Maybe Discreet, the dam of last season’s high class Group winner Too Darn Discreet, who kicked her spring campaign into gear with a win at Flemington last Saturday.

A fast and precocious Group winning juvenile by Golden Slipper winning sire Sebring, Sejardan remains at a fee of $13,750 in the always tricky third season, which may prove value for his supporters this year if his progeny come out running.

There was no denying the quality of his weanlings which sold for up to $130,000 and six of them sold for $70,000 or more at the Magic Millions and Inglis Australian Weanling Sales, a remarkable effort from a Victorian based sire off a modest fee.
