First foals for Vancouver

Breednet - Tuesday August 22
The first foals of a Golden Slipper winner are always eagerly awaited and a couple of the first Vancouvers have hit the Foal Gallery.

Quite likely the first of them all was this colt out of Fastnet Rock mare Helford River.



Born on July 30 at Canning Downs in Queensland, he is the first foal of his mother, who is a daughter of former top class sprinter Headway, one of the select few fillies to have won the GrI Coolmore Stud Stakes.

Then there is this filly, out of Abbey Road.



Born at Segenhoe Stud for owners Fairway Thoroughbreds, she is the first foal of a daughter of top class mare Private Steer.

Abbey Road, by Street Cry, was bred and retained by Fairway and showed potential in just two starts for a win and second.
