Record Priced $10million Filly Retires Unraced

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday Apr 8

The Pierro filly from world champion racehorse Winx lit up the bid board at Inglis Easter in 2024 when setting an Australian record price for a yearling sold at auction when fetching $10million and today it was announced she will retire unraced.

Quinceanara will head to the breeding barn this spring.

Named Quinceanera, the filly was bought back by her co-breeder Debbie Kepitis of Woppitt Bloodstock and had several preparations with champion trainer Chris Waller, who also prepared her famous Mum.

Woppitt Bloodstock announced on Wednesday morning that Quinceanera had been retired following veterinary advice and in consultation with her trainer.

If you have been around racing for as long as I have you will know that some fillies are destined to be career women and others are more than happy to be stay at home mums and Quinceanera probably falls into the latter category.

Winx has a Snitzel colt that was withdrawn from Inglis Easter and after having a year off from breeding is due to foal this spring to Too Darn Hot (GB).
