The first surviving foal of the great Winx, a $10 million yearling, has been retired to the broodmare barn without making it to the trials.
Owner Debbie Kepitis’ Woppitt Bloodstock on Wednesday said that Quinceanera, a daughter of champion stallion Pierro, would not be raced.
The Bloodstock statement said the tough decision to retire the three-year-old was made following veterinary advice and in consultation with trainer Chris Waller.
“Although disappointing, it’s in her best interest to now begin her career as a broodmare,” it read.
Quinceanera, named after the traditional Latin American celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday, which marks her transition from childhood to womanhood, is the second foal of the legendary Winx, which won 25 group 1 races and 33 consecutive victories under the guidance of Waller.
Woppitt Bloodstock announced on Wednesday morning Quinceanera had been retired after consultation with vets and trainer Chris Waller.
"Although disappointing, it’s in her best interest to now begin her career as a broodmare," the statement read.
Quinceanera had the racing world buzzing when Debbie Kepitis spent a whopping $10 million on buying back Winx's first foal (out of Pierro) at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.
The three-year-old filly was never seen publicly, at the races or in a trial, before being retired.
