Outstanding racemare Sheeza Belter (Gold Standard) will be offered as a world class breeding prospect at a special stand-alone Magic Millions virtual auction early next month. A Group 1-winning juvenile and multiple Group winner, the just-turned 4YO would be a highlight addition to any broodmare band around the world. Sheeza Belter, purchased by former trainer and part-owner Justin Warwick for $50,000 at the 2021 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale from breeder Mt Hallowell Stud, established herself a star right across Australia from just 15 lifetime starts. As a juvenile she kicked away her career with Luke Fernie in Western Australia where she produced a whirlwind finish to win the Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic (RL) at Pinjarra. Held in such high regard by connections she was immediately transferred to the Peter and Paul Snowden stable in Sydney where she quickly became one of Australia's most exciting youngsters. After a couple of runs, including a Group 3 third on heavy tracks, Sheeza Belter relished being back on top of the ground sweeping the Gr2 QTC Sires' Produce Stakes and the Gr1 JJ Atkins Stakes. She trained on at three to beat her more seasoned rivals in the Gr2 Hot Danish Stakes - sprinting home under William Pike to defeat a swag of group stars. Earlier this year Sheeza Belter went close to notching another Group 1 success when she went within a head of winning the Group 1 Coolmore Classic, a breath away from winner Espiona, a highly rated Sydney-based mare who just last Saturday won the Gr2 Golden Pendant and is being regarded an Everest prospect. A daughter of Sebring's Group-winning son Gold Standard (Widden Stud), Sheeza Belter is from the multiple city winner Saxabelle – herself a half sister to the dam of stakes winners Special Reward, Showy Chloe and El Rijes. With earnings of close to $2 million, Sheeza Belter will be offered for sale virtually via the same online bidding platform used at all Magic Millions live auctions, with auctioneer Clint Donovan presiding over the sale process. She will go under the hammer from 3pm (AEST) on Thursday, October 5.
