Kiwi Group I winner Nicoletta has been retired to stud following her unplaced run in the Group III Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m) at Hawera earlier this month.
The daughter of Savabeel, who is owned by Lib Petagna’s JML Bloodstock, won five of her 32 career starts, including the Group I New Zeland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m), Group III Desert Gold Stakes (1600m), and Group III Taranaki Breeders’ Stakes (1400m).
The Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman-trained mare was also placed at Group One level in the New Zeland Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes (1600m) and Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m).
“She’s gone to Trapeze Artist, a three-time Group One winner by Snitzel,” Baker said.
“She’s a Group One winner herself and had done enough. She was a good mare.”
