Bred by the Bateman family, this gorgeous bay colt was born at Newgate Farm on July 30 and photographed when only an hour old.
"He
is a really lovely, strong and balanced first foal right in the mold of Deep
Field," said Sam Fairgray, Newgate General Manager.
He is the first foal for talented Lonhro mare Twirl, who placed in a Group II
ATC Sweet Embrace Stakes and Group III ATC Widden Stakes.
A $675,000 Magic Millions purchase for the Bateman's by James Harron Bloodstock, Twirl is not only a beautiful mare, but also impeccably bred being from a stakes-placed full sister to champion sire Fastnet Rock.
The Bateman family have had much success with their bloodstock portfolio and notably through the young Newgate stallions Foxwedge, now the sire of 16 winners and Wandjina, whose first foals will be born this spring.
