WIN FOR WINTER BLOOM
Winter Bloom was second on her debut at Folkestone and the
Juddmonte homebred won nicely by a length here. She is a daughter
of Juddmonte’s dual Gr.1 winner APTITUDE (A
P Indy) and is the fifth foal and fourth winner out of the Zafonic
mare Bionic. She was the easy winner of her only start, a
two-year-old maiden at Goodwood, and her previous winners include
the Woodbine Stakes-placed Diplomatic Agent (Deputy Minister), plus
Winter Bloom’s stablemate Phoenix Tower (Chester House), who is
unbeaten in three starts.
Bionic is a half-sister to the multiple Group scorer Day Flight
(Sadler’s Wells), out of Bonash (Rainbow Quest), who won three
Group contests in France. The third dam, the dual winner Sky Love
(Nijinsky), is also the dam of the Santa Anita Gr.2 winner
Media Nox (by Lycius; dam of the French Classic heroine Nebraska
Tornado, Gr.2 winner Burning Sun and the Gr.3 winner Mirabilis)
Bionic has a yearling filly by EMPIRE
MAKER.
