Bred with Wayne and Vicki Pike, Beauty Supremo is out of the winning Grosvenor mare, Bittersweet, who to date has produced 2 winners from 2 to race – one of which being the now Singapore based stakes performed galloper Sherbert (Bertolini).

Beauty Supremo is raced by T W Tung and was originally purchased by his trainer from the Pikes’ Longlands 2010 Select Yearling Sale draft for $140,000.
