In Our Care

Quintessa was purchased privately for $500,000 off the track. She is an outstanding physical, standing 16.1 hands high with plenty of scope and quality. She has good bone, a nice hind leg and an athletic action.  As a yearling, she brought the third highest price for a Pierro filly ever ($480,000). She spent the majority of her career contesting metropolitan and stakes class races. Her career highlights are a third in the Group 1 ATC Oaks behind Colette and Toffee Tounge, and a third in the Group 3 Adrian Knox behind the same two fillies. She was also narrowly beaten by Group 1 placed filly She's Ideal, and was beaten 3 lengths to Group 1 winner Think It Over in the Group 3 Craven Plate.She is out of a stakes placed Street Sense mare, Sense Of Hite. Quintessa has a half brother Acrophobic, who is a Group performer and 2 YO winner. She is also half to a Snitzel filly, who we purchased for $850,000 at the 2022 Magic Millions sale, and is now in the Ciaron Maher / David Eustace yard.
