ABOUT HER SIRE DUNDEEL
The Champion 3YO, the six-time Group 1 winner & weight-for-age superstar of Australia. Now a major sire of 9 Group 1 winners, including G1 sires Castelvecchio & Super Seth, Celestial Legend, Militarize and 3YO filly Femminile.
Dundeel first put himself in the company of Champion Sires Snitzel, Written Tycoon, Savabeel & I Am Invincible when he claimed the No. 6 spot on the 2022/23 Australian General Sires’ Premiership.
And maintained it in 2023/24 thanks to Militarize’s spectacular Golden Rose G1 victory, Celestial Legend’s outstanding Doncaster Mile G1 & Randwick Guineas G1 wins and 7 other stakeswinners. He ended that season less than $220,000 behind Zoustar – and ahead of I Am Invincible & Snitzel – on Australia’s 3YO Sires’ Premiership.
Dundeel opened the 2024/25 season with 3 new Group winners in Melbourne, all from his 2021 crop: colts Red Aces & Kingofwallstreet, and the filly Jasmin Rouge.
His marvellous first-crop son The Inevitable added two Listed wins in December to his $2 million record, Konasana won Group races in NSW & New Zealand, Cinch won the Auraria S. G3 in Adelaide & Deel Her In is a Listed winner in Perth.
Group wins by Mare Of Mt Buller & Litzdeel and Dundeel’s 9th Group 1 winner Femminile once again put him among last season’s top 10 active Australian sires by Stakeswinners (10), Stakes Wins (12), Winners (154) & Earnings ($12.2 million).
2025 sale results reflected the on-track performance: 9 Inglis Easter yearlings by Dundeel averaged $414,000, with a top price of $750,000 for the Stay With Me colt.
Now, in 2025/26, Dundeel is holding his spot among Australia’s leading sires, adding new stakeswinners Tavs and Sydney Group 3 winner Idle Flyer to his record before the end of October. And notably, 8 of his 12 SW since 19 October 2024 are fillies.

ABOUT CHAMPION PEEPING FAWN
PEEPING FAWN was a Champion Irish-trained Thoroughbred racefilly. Unraced as a two-year-old, it took her four tries to break her maiden at age three. Her form then rapidly improved, reflected by a third-place finish in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and a second in The Oaks, followed by four consecutive Group One wins – the Pretty Polly, Irish Oaks, Nassau and Yorkshire Oaks. She was named the Cartier Champion Three-year-old Filly of 2007.
PEEPING FAWN was by Danehill, a leading sire in Europe and Australia who sired over 300 stakes winners including Danehill Dancer, Dylan Thomas and Rock of Gibraltar.Her dam, Maryinsky by Sadler’s Wells, was bred to Danehill in Ireland then sent to the United States where she foaled Peeping Fawn, who is thus considered
an American-bred horse. Maryinsky was out of Kentucky Oaks winner Blush With Pride, who was also the dam of Better Than Honour, the dam of four stakes winners including back-to-back winners of the Belmont Stakes, Jazil and Rags to Riches. Blush With Pride’s dam was Best In Show, the 1982 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year. Best In Show and her female descendants have produced numerous major winners around the world including Try My Best, El Gran Senor, Spinning World, Domedriver and Redoute’s Choice.
DIRECT DESCENDANT OF BEST IN SHOW
Best in Show (1965–1990) was an influential American Thoroughbred racehorse and arguably one of the 20th century’s most significant broodmares, named the 1982 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year. She produced 17 named foals, including stakes winners Blush With Pride, Monroe, Gielgud, and Malinowski, and is ancestress to over 250 stakes winners.
DAMSIRE CHAMPION FASTNET ROCK
