SHIELDMAIDEN

SHIELDMAIDEN is a striking 2YO dark bay filly who carries a pedigree woven with some of the most powerful bloodlines in the Southern Hemisphere. By Proisir, New Zealand’s Champion Sire whose progeny include Group 1 winners Levante, Legarto and Prowess, she already has speed and class on her side. Her dam line injects stamina and toughness through Redwood (by High Chaparral), Zabeel (Sir Tristam) and the female family traces back to none other than the blue-hen mare Habibti, half-sister to the immortal Eight Carat.

Eight Carat’s legend lives on through her black-type sons and daughters — Octagonal, Mouawad, Marquise, Diamond Lover and Kaapstad — a dynasty that transformed Australasian breeding. Combined with descendants like Humidor, Amaryllis, Papilio and Wildflower from this same family, SHIELDMAIDEN's page is stacked with champions. Notably, all the top performers from this family have been dark bays, a trait that strongly reinforces the bloodline’s producing power. It’s a pedigree that blends brilliance and resilience — a filly bred to sparkle on the track and carry immense residual value when she retires to the broodmare barn.
