Meet Rosebrook Champagne, a true matriarch of the polocrosse field who won’t just be cheering from the sidelines at the 2026 Darwin Polocrosse Nationals — she’ll be out there competing herself

Champagne is the proud mum of Milele Park Veuve and Rayjen Park Classic who are been played by Chris & Lauren Sillitoe, meaning this remarkable mare will have two of her offspring and herself all playing on the Darwin stage. How special is that?

Horse: Rosebrook Champagne – HSH (177597)
Owner: Lauren Sillitoe
Breeding / Purchase: Purchased by Phil Cant from the Rosebrook ASH Sale in 2009
State Representing: Queensland
Team: Sub Juniors
Rider: Chase Sillitoe

Plays Best At:
Anywhere she’s needed. Champagne is a born competitor — happy, sharp and switched on as long as she’s out on the field doing her job.

Nationals Attended:
Western Australia
• 2012 Warwick Nationals
• 2014 Darwin Nationals
Queensland
• 2016 Albury Nationals
• 2026 Darwin Nationals

If Champagne Was a Famous Person:
Angelina Jolie — sweet, classy and she knows she’s all that. Don’t take her cheap… just ask Chase
Quirkiest Habit:
Not quirky, just attentive — if you lose focus, she’ll casually drop her head to make sure you’re still awake.
Biggest Achievement:
She’s collected plenty of awards over the years, but nothing tops watching Chase take off in the Sub Juniors on her. Champagne truly is one in a million.

Funny Story :
Ask Chris about the 4:30am feedlot puddle incident where Champagne was taken “a little cheap” — a moment that perfectly sums up her confidence, awareness and personality!

A mare with heart, class and a legacy that spans generations — Rosebrook Champagne is everything we love about polocrosse.

Bring on Darwin 2026!
