Standalone auction for Kissonallforcheeks
Group 2-winning mare Kissonallforcheeks (Written Tycoon) will be offered as an elite breeding prospect in a standalone Magic Millions Online Sale from August 15-17.
A winner of ten races, five at stakes level, Kissonallforcheeks retired with prize-money of over $1.7 million.
The daughter of Written Tycoon (Iglesia) was renowned for her electrifying sprint, often coming from near the tail of the field to delight her connections and fans.
Trainer Dan Morton, who has prepared some of the country’s finest gallopers including Royal Ascot hero and Australian Horse of the Year Scenic Blast (Scenic), said Kissonallforcheeks wasn’t far away from that level.
“She is the best filly or mare that I have put a bridle on,” Morton said. “There’s no doubt she was a Group 1 mare every day of the week.
“I loved what I saw when I bought her on the Gold Coast and every time she came in from the paddock each preparation she got better and stronger.
“She looked amazing and had furnished again and the best was still to come (when she came in for the last time). I was shattered when we had to pull up stumps.
“I will be keen to see her offspring. She was a real pleasure to train and just so exciting.”
Kissonallforcheeks, who was a $120,000 purchase for Morton Racing from the draft of Newhaven Park at the 2019 Gold Coast Yearling Sale, is out of the multiple stakes winner Rosie Rocket (Blackfriars).
The Magic Millions Online Sale for Kissonallforcheeks will open from 3pm (AEST) on Tuesday, August 15 and close from 3pm (AEST) on Thursday, August 17.
