The mare Bint Marscay adds an international flair to Old Friends’s herd. Foaled in Australia in 1990, the daughter of Marscay is out of the New Zealand bred Eau Detoile, who herself is the daughter of Irish sire Sir Tristram.

A beautiful chestnut, Bint Marscay (or just Binty to her friends) was a champion 2-year-old Down Under having broken her maiden in the Warwick Farm Stakes and winning the GR3 Canterbury just a month later. At three she went on to win the Tooheys Golden Slipper Stakes (GR1) and the Magic Night Stakes (GR2). At 4 she was still in top form, capturing the Chirnside Side Stakes (GR2), among others. Binty made her way to the U.S. to be a broodmare at The Vinery in Lexington. There she had only a few offspring as she was plagued with reproductive issues, but her few babies were, like their Mom, top notch. Her outstanding daughter Bollinger was a GR1 winner and the dam of Louisiana Derby winner and Kentucky Derby contender Friesian Fire. These days her global status is behind her, as she spends her days with some of our other great race mares.
