The imminent sale of Gr.1 NZ 1,000 Guineas runner-up Miss Tycoon Rose will cap a brilliant run for Jim Bruford’s New Zealand Bloodstock Insurance Pearl Series syndicate initiative.
A winner of four from the Pitman stable, Miss Tycoon Rose ran her last race in January, in which she was second in the Listed Timaru Stakes, and is by champion sire Written Tycoon and from the winning More Than Ready mare Splat.
“In 2019 at Karaka I purchased two fillies who turned out to be Miss Tycoon Rose and the stakes placed filly Ohio Showgirl,” recalled Bruford.
“The aim of the Pearl Fillies Syndicates was to target Pearl Bonus races and I had several interested parties who had successfully raced fillies in my first syndicate that was three fillies who between them won 13 races including two Pearl Bonus races making it a profitable exercise.
“These two fillies have been very successful between them winning seven races including one Pearl Bonus race but more importantly at just her sixth start Miss Tycoon Rose lined up in the Gr.1 NZ 1000 Guineas and ran meritoriously to finish second after an interrupted run.
“These two fillies stake earnings well covered their training costs and their sale is the ‘cream on top’ for the 16 people/couples who make up the Pearl No 3 syndicate.”
