SYDNEY - Champion mare Sunline has given birth to her third foal at Arrowfield Stud.
The multiple Group One winner foaled a bay filly by Coolmore Stud stallion Rock Of Gibraltar on Tuesday morning in what was a straightforward birth.
Arrowfield spokesperson Mary O'Neill said mother and daughter
were doing well and confirmed the filly looked more like her sire than her dam.
"She's probably thrown more to her father, she's a very nice filly," O'Neill said.
Sunline's first foal, now a two-year-old, is also a filly by Rock Of Gibraltar.
Yet to be named, she is in training in New Zealand with Steve McKee and is expected to make her debut in the coming months.
Sunline's second foal, a Zabeel colt, will be the headline lot at the 2007 New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling sale at Karaka in January.
