sold in 2004 at Tattersalls, bought back in 2010 at Goffs

The purchase of FOUR ROSES) became an emotional affair, as the now 7yo returned home to Schlossgut Itlingen, where she was bred and raised by Graf and Grafin Stauffenberg, before being sold as a yearling to Darley in 2004.

However it has happened a lot in the family of the foundation mare FLY ME TO THE MOON was the first foal out of FLY ME TO THE MOON … and looked unsuited by the ground … The filly became broodmare under the Rabbah Bloodstock banner. The second foal out of FOUR SINS (by Sinndar) and her 2009 yearling by GALILEO was purchased by John Magnier at the Tattersalls October Sales Part I and went into training with Aidan O´Brien.

However Rabbah had decided to sell the mare, who had delivered a foal in every season she was mated – a 2yo colt by DUBAI DESTINATION died, the yearling filly by the same sire was sold and there is a colt foal by TIGER HILL. Now FLY ME TO THE MOON is in foal to SHIROCCO. Graf and Grafin Stauffenberg are quite proud that the resulting foal will be one of the first foals of the now 3rd generation bred by them.
