OVERVIEW
This is an absolute standout filly by the illustrious sire St Mark’s Basilica (FR) out of the impeccably bred dam Blue Valley (IRE). This well-balanced and athletic yearling combines elite bloodlines on both sides of the family.
St Mark’s Basilica is celebrated as one of Europe’s most exceptional racehorses in recent years, earning a place among the elite with five Group 1 victories. Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the son of Siyouni dominated as a dual European Champion, claiming titles such as the Dewhurst Stakes, Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas), Prix du Jockey Club, Eclipse Stakes, and Irish Champion Stakes.
Known for his explosive turn of foot, tactical versatility, and ability to thrive over distances ranging from 1200m to 2100m, St Mark’s Basilica retired with a stellar race record and multiple accolades, including European Champion 2YO, World Champion 3YO & Cartier Horse of the Year.
It’s no surprise that the progeny of St Mark’s Basilica has been highly sought after internationally, with his progeny commanding premium prices in sales rings worldwide with his yearlings selling for up to $2.8m.
This an outstanding addition to the Triple Crown stable and we couldn’t be more excited to have her representing our owners. If you are interested in finding out about being a part of this standout filly please get in contact.

TRAINERS
Apprentice to CS Hayes and then a successful jumps jockey, including captaining the Australia team against Ireland in the International Jockey Challenge, Ciaron realised his size would deny his riding ambitions. Despite that, his love for racing and his natural interest and curiosity in training saw him commit to a career as a trainer at a young age.
Knowing you learn best from the best, he spent time with Bart Cummings, Aiden O’Brien and Willie Mullins before starting in his own right, with 6 boxes on his dad’s farm. He knows you never stop learning and continues to connect with the greats, only last year spending time with Wesley Ward (USA), Roger Charlton (UK) and Richard Hannon (UK), Andre Fabre (France) and Joseph O’Brien (IRE).
Ciaron is now very happy to be based in what he describes as the best training facility he’s seen anywhere in the world.
