Want to have a runner in the 2026 Karaka Millions Three Year Old Race, run at Ellerslie, for $1.5m in prizemoney and then six weeks later in the $4m NZ Kiwi slot race!!! Here is a wonderful opportunity to do just that by taking a share in this gorgeous Yearling Filly, by the emerging NZ Stallion EL ROCA.

Acquired at the recent Karaka Yearling Sales by Fortuna Racing, this Filly presents as a beautiful athletic type, with a powerful free flowing walk and a great physical presence. Her Sire, EL ROCA (by Fastnet Rock) was a well performed race horse in Australia and is now making his mark as an emerging Stallion, sitting in 3rd place by winners in the current season behind SAVABEEL and TAVISTOCK Our Filly’s dam, Megara, was a winner in Australia and is the Dam of four race track winners already – she herself is by the Champion Australian racehorse, Champion Stallion and now a leading broodmare Sire, Encosta De Lago - this makes for a high quality pedigree page.

Here is what Fortuna’s Trainer, Mark Walker, has to say about this Filly “John, this Filly by El Roca really caught our eye at inspections - she is very athletic with a great walk and we think she could run as an Autumn 2yo but train on nicely to be a lovely 1600m plus type 3yo - out of a mare by Encosta de Lago who is a Champion Broodmare sire, the dam herself had had four winners out of five to the races including one that is a Stakes winner and one who is Stakes placed - she is a ripper”
