BRED by the Wildenstein’s Dayton Investments, Newness (Simply Great) was foaled in 1988 and raced in the colours of Daniel Wildenstein once, on her debut, when she was second over hurdles at Auteuil.

After that, Newness carried the silks of Wildenstein’s second wife, Sylvia, and went on to win four times, once over hurdles and three times over fences, her last win coming in a listed chase at Auteuil. She had been placed a number of times in blacktype races, and victory in one was deserved. Her breeding career has proven to be remarkable, measured by the influence exerted by a couple of her sons, No Risk At All (My Risk) and Nickname (Lost World).
