Not surprisingly, this beautiful filly is sired by reigning Champion Australian First Season Sire Pierro
"Donna and I were incredibly fortunate to race an absolute champion in Pierro.
His accomplishments on the track were truly remarkable and it is fabulous to
see him get off to such a great start as a stallion," said Greg Kolivos.
"Of course, we have sent Pierro our best mares each year including a number of young Group winners off the track.
"Diamond Drille is clearly one of the best of these young mares, having won the
Group I Queen of the Turf over the famous Randwick mile. To see her and Pierro
produce a filly such as this at Newgate is a tremendous thrill and we can only
hope she goes on to be half as good as both Mum and Dad were."
A sibling to stakes-winners Madame Pedrille and M'Lady Pedrille, Diamond Drille won five of 18 starts earning just shy of $1million in prizemoney.
The daughter of Al Maher is booked to visit I Am Invincible this spring, an intriguing mating as I Am Invincible is also from the same female family.
Newgate Farm is the proud home to Diamond Drille and all of the Kolivos owned mares.
