Ontoawinner were thrilled to secure this exciting filly at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sales, and she is one that really caught the eye on the day.
Sioux Nation is by the phenomenal Scat Daddy, sire of the incomparable No Nay Never, Triple Crown winner Justify, and sprinting sensations Caravaggio, Lady Aurelia and Acapulco. Sioux Nation himself was a star at two, completing the Norfolk-Phoenix Stakes double — just like his grandsire Johannesburg — before landing Group 1 glory at Royal Ascot. He has since established himself as a highly sought-after stallion, with his 2025 yearlings selling for up to 525,000gns and his breezers commanding up to €1,000,000.
The dam, Snapolentia, is by Power, a son of European Champion Sprinter and leading speed influence Oasis Dream, giving this filly a pedigree absolutely steeped in speed. She has been an outstanding producer, having sent out two winners from two runners — a perfect record.
This filly put in an exceptional performance at the breeze up, and she now heads into training with Ivan Furtado, giving connections every reason to be excited about what lies ahead.
