The foal in question is the below filly from Gerry Harvey's Westbury Stud in New Zealand, out of 10 length ATC Australian Oaks winner Royal Descent by Redwood (GB).
Royal Descent, as famous as she was for winning the Oaks possibly became even better known for her consistency at the top level without winning.
When she retired she had won five races from 31 starts but been placed a further 15 times which included placings in the George Main Stakes twice, The Doncaster Mile twice, The Epsom Handicap, Turnbull Stakes and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
