in previous runs but put it all together for this 1400 metre maiden to win by a
long head.A $35,000 Magic Millions Perth purchase from the Botsky Pty Ltd draft, Queen's Parade is a half-sister to Group II placed Spirit Bird and is the second winner for Press Leak (USA).
Queen's Parade is the second Australian winner for Dalghar, who is also the sire of smart Sydney metro winner Golden Organic and the New Zealand based stakes-winner Astara.
A Group winning half-brother by Anabaa to Group I sires Dalakhani and Daylami, Dalghar has made an encouraging start to his stud career with five winners in Europe from his first small crop that are now three year-olds and four in Australia/New Zealand.

Dalghar's owner Neven Botica has been thrilled with
his success and believes there is more to come.

"This is to just name few of the prospects to fly the flag for Dalghar well before this year's matings hit the track."
