EMOTIONS will surely have run high after Opera Singer’s victory in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac Criterium des Pouliches, as the winner was bred by the late Evie Stockwell, mother-in-law of one of the filly’s owners, Sue Magnier.

The filly is by Ashford Stud’s Justify (Scat Daddy), and from the second Northern Hemisphere crop by that Triple Crown winner. The first crop includes a pair of 2023 Grade 1 winners in Arabian Lion and Aspen Grove. Opera Singer is also the third Group/Grade 1 winner for her dam, Liscanna (Sadler’s Wells), and all of her stars have achieved that feat in different countries.
