Harmony Fair is an attractive little filly by Symboli Kris S out of First Chair. Symboli Kris S has proved to be an excellent stallion, with Roberto as his grandfather, and Hail To Reason and Seattle Slew in the next generation back. The latter can be held up as something very special, being a Hall of Fame member thanks to his feat of becoming the tenth horse in history to take the US Triple Crown (only one has done it since then, by the way). On the mother's side, First Chair was sired by Jungle Pocket (with Tony Bin as his father), while the dam line is dominated by Sunday Silence.
This looks like the first foal of First Chair's to live long enough to reach the tracks, so it will be fascinating to see what such strong bloodlines can do as a combination. Even going back just four generations, we have an Epsom Derby winner, two Kentucky Derby winners, two Preakness Stakes winners, a Belmont Stakes winner, a Japan Derby winner, and an Irish 1000 Guineas winner in the mix.

Based with the Maki Stable at Miho Training Centre, Harmony Fair is getting closer and closer to being
race-ready by the day. With regular 14- to 17-second furlongs clocked on the indoor course, she's obviously more than just pretty face - she could actually turn out to be a handy little racer!
As it happens, that early observation wasn't far off the mark, as she won first time out in a 1400m turf race, although she was then rather disappointing at Nakayama. Despite this, she had a G-III outing, but couldn't deliver the goods on that occasion either. She definitely has speed as a sprinter, though, and has a record of 1-0-0-2 so far.
