2017 Newcomers #1

Courtesy Lord Ilsley Racing
The first horse to introduce here in the Lord Ilsley Racing colt, which was born in April 2015. This beautiful looking animal has Fast Company as his father, who only raced three times, but won twice and came second in the remaining outing (a G1 race), so he was certainly no slouch. His DNA includes G1 winner Danehill Dancer by the legendary Danehill and Sharpen Up on the sire side, and Zafonic (bringing with him some lovely bloodlines) and Mill Reef on the dam side.

His mother was Lucy Liu (not the Lucy!), who didn't do much herself, but she has passed on some nice blood, including that of Secretariat and Northern Dancer via Grand Lodge, and legends like Sir Gaylord and Tudor Minstrel. We will update this as soon as he has been named, but he looks like an exciting prospect...
