WHEN the yearling filly by Gemologist out of Adoradancer enters the sale ring as Lot 13 at Goffs UK next Tuesday she is, by my reckoning, going to be the first offspring by her WinStar sire to come under the hammer in Europe. She is certainly a most interesting offering.

Her sire was unbeaten at two years when his three-race season culminated with victory in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes. He added two more victories at three and, significantly, the best of these was the Grade 1 Wood Memorial Stakes in which he defeated fellow Grade 1 winners Alpha and The Lumber Guy. In winning that $1 million race he extended his unbeaten run to five.
