Yulong aren’t the only international breeding force purchasing high profile mares from the Northern Hemisphere to race in Australia with Kia Ora Stud splashing out $US1.5million ($A2.2million)at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale last year on Bubble Rock (USA), who will take her place in the $700,000 Group I Tatts Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday.
Midweek stakes racing at Warwick Farm with The Agency Civic Stakes (1400m) transferred from the washed-out Randwick meeting, proving the perfect spot for a maiden stakes success for the admirably consistent Diamond Diesel.
