Mulcaster Raises A Glass

Mulcaster Raises A Glass… 
Given the profile of Pale Mimosa (Ire) (Singspiel {Ire}), it should have come as no surprise that she was attractive to Australasian interests, and the New Zealand-based Guy Mulcaster stayed strong to secure her for 680,000gns for an undisclosed existing client. 

The 5-year-old Pale Mimosa, who was catalogued as lot 1875, notched her first black-type victory in last summer’s Listed Saval Beg S. over 14 furlongs at Leopardstown and she has since excelled over route distances, adding the Listed Challenge S. over the same track and trip in July and notching a career high when besting G1 Gold Cup heroine Estimate (Ire) (Monsun {Ger}) in the G2 Lonsdale Cup at York in August. She has since contested three-straight Group 1s, finishing fifth in the Irish St Leger, third in the Prix du Cadran and fourth in the Prix Royal-Oak Oct. 26. 

“She’s a lovely mare,” Mulcaster said. “She did everything for us and she’s dual-purpose, so she’s been bought for an existing client. We’ll let her get over the winter and see what we do with her after that. She’s a very good racehorse and she’s a very good type.” 

Mulcaster said no decision had been made as to whether Pale Mimosa would stay in the Northern Hemisphere or go south, or as to whether she would race on or go off to stud.
