Freedom Karaka Million Bound
28 Dec 2011Haunui Farm graduate Freedom (NZ) (O'Reilly) (pictured as a yearling) flew into Karaka Million contention at Ellerslie on Boxing Day with an impressive victory over 1100m at his first start.

The first foal out of Group One-winner Captivate (NZ) (Stravinsky), Freedom had only two trials under his belt leading into Monday's race, his last being a five-length demolition of his rivals on the 6th of December.

Trained by Stephen McKee, Freedom is a graduate of Haunui's 2011 Premier Draft where he was initially passed in through the ring.  Sold later, he is raced by Trevor McKee and Herbie Dyke.  "We offered him at the sale on behalf of the Moore family and he had a reserve of $150,00 which certainly wasn't unreasonable for a colt out of a Group One winner," said Mark Chitty, General Manager of Haunui Farm.  "He was passed in through the ring and not surprisingly, Trevor McKee purchased the colt after the sale," said Mark.  "They've had a lot of success with this family and it looks like they are in for a bit more," he said.

A member of the Moore's incredible Soliloquy family, Haunui will offer a half-sister to Freedom at the Premier Sale in 2012.  Lot 103, she is by Savbeel (Aus) (Zabeel).  "There is so much residual value in this pedigree so any buyer looking for a prospective broodmare should definitely have this filly on their list," says Mark.  "Who knows, come sale time, she could be the half-sister to the winner of the Karaka Million - here's hoping!"
