FIRST FOAL FOR DUAL CLASSIC WINNER
The Danish-bred Amalia (Be My Chief) has
produced her first foal, a colt by Richard Of York
(RAINBOW QUEST). The
foal has been long-awaited by the mare’s connections, who are
hoping he will be able to emulate his dam. She was a juvenile star,
with wins in both the Danish and Swedish Kriteriums, as well as the
Scandinavian Breeding prize in Norway. During her Classic season,
she won both the Danish and Norwegian 1,000 Guineas and the
Scandinavian Three-Year-Old Championship and was easily the leading
filly of her generation.
Her half-brother Phoenix River (Final Appearance) won the Danish
Three-Year-Old Championship last year and hopes are high this
season for Amalia’s two-year-old brother Phoenix
Flyer.
