Honoured as the Champion 3YO Filly of Australia for 2014/2015 and WA Horse of
the Year, the daughter of Al Maher retired with the imposing record of 12 wins from
19 starts with $2.1 million in earnings and highlight wins in the Group I SAJC
Derby, SAJC Australasian Oaks, Group II WATC Derby, Oaks and Perth Cup.Sent to reigning Champion Australian Second Season Sire Pierro in her first season at stud, Delicacy produced this lovely filly at Holbrook Thoroughbreds in the Hunter Valley last Thursday.
The prized baby was an early arrival, a fact that did not surprise Bob Peters.
"She liked to be first at everything," Peters told The West Australian.
"She was our first mare served in September and the first to foal.
"They had to give her medication to hold her back. She was ready to foal two or three weeks earlier. The filly and her are both well."
Peters confirmed Delicacy was booked to be served by Pierro again next month, the young Coolmore stallion having already given them classic success last season with their homebred Pierro gelding Action winning the Group II WATC Derby.
