Now this beauty, a Sadler's Wells cross (3Sx4D), I have quite a few shares in. She appears to run like a bandy-legged donkey chasing a carrot on Blackpool beach, but boy does she get the job done! I guess looking at the all-star bloodlines, if she didn't run hard, it would throw the established theories of the entire Thoroughbred breeding industry into disruption.
Miracle Rouge was sired by Meisho Samson, who won the Japanese Derby and the Japanese 2000 Guineas, and has Opera House down as his father - a King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner, as was his father before him, Sadler's Wells. The damsire was Dancing Brave, another KG&QE winner, who can also log victories in the English 2000 Guineas and the L'Arc de Triomphe on his account. And High Top should also be mentioned as another classic winner in the mix, having won the 2000 Guineas in 1972.

Miracle Raiser, the dam, is by El Condor Pasa, with an 8-3-0 record from 11 starts in top class racing, while going back another generation brings in Kingmambo and Fuji Kiseki. A further generation backwards kicks in Mr Prospector, Miesque, Assert, Sunday Silence, and Sadler's Wells again, one of Northern Dancer's finest.
Despite the fact that this attractive filly has shown signs of real speed from early on, the Uehara Stable at Miho Training Centre have given her four 2000m turf outings so far and her record still stands at 0-0-0-4. She was fourth, then sixth, fifth and then a disappointing tenth, although something wasn't right in that last race. I have a feeling patience will pay off, though...
