Media Release - Friday April 29
Two-year-old Savabeel filly Rosa Carolina heads to the Newcastle Stables of Kris Lees this week in preparation for three-year-old races in Spring.

Raced by Lib Petagna's JML Bloodstock, Rosa Carolina follows a well-worn path.

Rosa Carolina as a yearlingLike Petagna's multiple Group One winning mare Lucia Valentina, Rosa Carolina was prepared by Cambridge trainer Stephen Marsh.

Rosa Carolina has had two starts as a juvenile, including a promising debut when second to the subsequent Group One winner Heroic Valour at Trentham.

She subsequently finished sixth in the Gr.2 Matamata Breeders Stakes. 

The filly is bred to be good as a daughter of stakes-winning O'Reilly mare Ombre Rose from the family of former high class stayer Aquidity.

She cost $220,000 at the NZB Premier Yearling Sale when plucked from the draft of Phoenix Park by Bruce Perry Bloodstock, who also purchased Lucia Valentina and Australian Oaks winner Sofia Rosa. NZ Racing Desk
