Queen’s Rhapsody was offered by one of Australasia’s leading nurseries in Segenhoe Stud who in recent years have produced Group 1 winners including Oohood, Manuel Eagle Way, Voodoo Lad, Merchant Navy and Kings Legacy (both stallions now at Coolmore Australia). She was presented at the Inglis Easter sale 2023, a sale that has produced 31 G1-winning graduates since 2018, eight could have been purchased for $200,000 or less just like Queen’s Rhapsody, including the likes of Mizzy, Exceedance, Aristia, Land Of Plenty, Zoutori, Nettoyer, Quick Thinker and Funstar. Queen’s Rhapsody was a beautiful, elegant filly who oozed class. She was a strong, forward filly, well-proportioned and carried herself very well.
She was a real standout from the minute we laid eyes on her and from a proven nursery we have had success with previous.
She is trained by David Pfieffer in Warwick Farm, Sydney. David is a regular in the NSW trainer’s premiership for the last decade or so and operates at a fantastic strike rate, he is complimented by fantastic state of the art facilitie
