All Rosie

Courtesy JLH Racing
All Rosie (or 'Davey' at the stables) is the replacement for Pretty Gully in Australia, with Jo Hassett taking him on at JLH due to an illness in the family of the original owners. Born in September 2011, he has won three of his 11 races so far (3-0-3), and we expect him to quickly add to his tally once he's settled in.

Looking at his pedigree, his sire is All Bar One, who won nine races from his 25 starts, and had a fantastic 2006 season Down Under. His father is the US-registered Hennessey, who won four of his nine races, and passes on Northern Dancer bloodlines via Storm Cat, which means there's some Secretariat DNA in there, too. His mother, Island Kitty, was pretty handy herself, running in G1 before broodmare duty called.

The dam is Bermuda Rose, who passes on yet more Northern Dancer blood, this time by way of the Irish-bred and highly-successful Last Tycoon, who also brings Mill Reef into the equation. Native Dancer and Tudor Minstrel stand out in her dam line, although Sharpen Up was no mug, and Shahram adds a little spice with all his French victories.
