She is the first foal for Unguarded, a five time metro winner of over $200,000 that traces back to the family of Golden Slipper winners Merlene and Capitalist.

"A lovely first foal, we have already booked the mare back," said her breeder Greg de Vries.

A Group winner at two and three, Tiger of Malay was very popular last spring as an alternative to his exceptional sire Extreme Choice, who stands at Newgate at a fee of $275,000.
