Agave

Agave (Rubick x One More Tequila filly) – “trialled really well (11th October 2022) and has had a great preparation. Did everything asked of her. Really pleased with her” – Peter Moody

Sire: RUBICK 

RUBICK is from the most precocious if champion sire and proven sire of sires ENCOSTA DE LAGO. Brilliantly fast and Beautifully bred. Out of SLIDING CUBE, a Group winner over 1000m and three-quarter sister to Champion sire REDOUTE’S CHOICE.

Time form’s highest-rated 2yo colt of his generation. Rated equal to Encosta De Lago’s star sire son NORTHERN METEOR at 3 years. Champion second season sire and Champion Australian 3yo sire in 2020. Set a new record for earnings by an Australian Second crop sire with over $10 million!

The Dam: ONE MORE TEQUILA

One More Tequila is by Onemorenomore who is the son of the prolific Sire, Red Ransom. One More Tequila was a 3-time winner up to 1358m. This is her second foal.

Tequila Knowledge, who is the 2nd dam in the family, won twice as a 2 year old and also won a Listed race. She was a very successful Broodmare having had 7 foals to race, 6 of them winners. Of those winners, 5 are closely related to One More Tequila. You can see in her pedigree that it is filled with black type and Group 1 winners and notably international Group 1 winners.

One More Tequila is closely related to MARIELLA who was a Group 1 winning racehorse. She won at a distance of up to 2800m and was also the top 3 year old filly in Italy. MAROTTA was also a champion 3 year old racehorse in Italy, winning 3 times and at Group 1 level in France. In her family, she also has one of the best Sire staying horses in Europe namely, SAGARO. He had 10 wins up to 4000m and won 5 Group 1’s and more importantly the 3 time winner of the Group 1 Royal Ascot Gold Cup. Sagaro was an outstanding stayer in history. No other horse has ever won this race 3 times. (The Royal Ascot Gold Cup is similar to the Melbourne Cup).

The Trainer: PETER MOODY

Peter Moody is considered to be one of the greatest trainers in this industry, training the best horse the world has ever witnessed namely, Black Caviar. Peter Moody stats speak for themselves with 2577 career wins with 56 at Group 1 level amassing over $115 million in prizemoney.

Peter’s strike rate is not short of amazing with a win strike rate of 18% and an incredible Group 1 strike rate of 10%. He will set up his return to training with boxes at Pakenham.

Peter Moody has commented, “I am [excited]. I am a bit tentative about it. I have to learn to get back out there again and get on the tools again, but not too much has changed,” he said. “There is no doubt I’ll be a better trainer this time around because I’m going to be more relaxed and be able to manage my time much better, and I’ll have a smaller team.”
