- a filly by Stay Gold, who will be based at the Yoshimura Stables at the Ritto TC. Stay Gold had an incredibly long racing career of 50 outings with only seven wins to show for it, but his fame as a sire has reached fever pitch with the success of Orfevre. He continues the Sunday Silence line nicely, with a lot of French and Canadian blood on his dam side, including that of Dictus (by Sanctus) and Northern Taste (by Northern Dancer).
The dam is Imprevu, who was sired by Twining - a winning stallion that carried on the Forty Niner line that we covered a couple of profiles ago via the Heart's Cry kid. He also passed on some beautiful old school blood from his mother, including that of Never Bend (meaning Nasrullah, Nearco and Blenheim) and War Admiral by Man O'War. Her damsire was Topsider by Northern Dancer, who won a few minor races, but Sir Gaylord is in her DNA make-up, and that means an awful lot. I think we can expect a good, solid performer here...
