“This is a gorgeous style of mare with an outstanding international pedigree. Her first two dams are Stakes winners and she is a sister to two Stakes-winning fillies, who are both the dams of Stakes performers. She comes with a positive test to the great Frankel, who has produced three million-dollar yearlings in Australasia from very limited opportunities.” - John Kennedy, Coolmore
