About the horse

Tunika's first encounter with Readly Express!

Tunika was an exceptional horse, and her first two offspring have shown the potential to compete at the highest level. Tunika’s first mating with Readly Express has raised sky-high expectations.

For three seasons, Tunika was one of the best mares in her crop. She won the Svampen as a two-year-old, finished second in the E3 as a three-year-old, and third in the Derbystoet as a four-year-old. In between, she won the ASVT Auction Stakes, finished second in the Breeders’ Course, and placed second in the Four-Year-Old Elite for Mares during the Elitlopp weekend. Her dam, Verona du Ling, is a sister to Stochampionat winner Volita du Ling, who sired Vanessa du Ling (2.5 million), millionaire Paying Guest, and five (!) additional offspring with times of 1:13.4 or better. Tunika’s first offspring, Every Day Elegant (b. 2019), won the Ibrahim Pasha Race and was a Kriterium finalist.
