The capable and well-related Keffiya (Cape Cross ex Howkudai, by Don’t Forget Me) has produced her first foal, a filly by Tale of the Cat.
I purchased Keffiya for a client at this year’s Sydney Easter Broodmare Sale. She’s a quality mare and if you’re a believer in type-breeds-type, Keffiya should produce some stunning foals in the time to come.
On the racetrack Keffiya won 4 races. She was Group Two-placed at three in the Royal Stakes at Ellerslie. She was also Listed Race-placed in Australia – that was in the Rowley Mile at Hawkesbury.
Keffiya is a half-sister to Maroofity (Maroof). Under the guidance of Mark Walker, Maroofity won 10 races – three at Group One level. He was New Zealand’s Champion 2YO of 2003.
A big name to emerge in this pedigree in recent times is Beauty Flash, the New Zealand-bred son of Golan who won last year’s Hong Kong International Mile-Gr.1.
Keffiya is booked to Pentire.
