SIRE: Dandy Man, DAM: Satin Ribbon (Shamardal)
Karl Burke has really made a name for himself in recent years, in particular with sharp and racy 2yo sorts, often with fillies, having won The Gp2 Lowther Stakes and Gp2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes 2020 and The Listed Julia Graves Roses Stakes 2021 with Atagirl, so where better to send this daughter of Dandy Man for her 2022 career?

She came highly recommended by her breeder Joe Foley of Ballyhane Stud. In fact, he marked our card, even before the sales’ season began, that if she were to fall within our purchasing budget, that we should secure her. She was his nap of the season. We’ve taken his advice and welcomed her to our 2022, 2yo roster.
She hails from a heavy black type family and is a FULL SISTER to a two-time 2yo winner. Joe says she’s a nicer model than her elder sibling, so the sky could really be the limit. We’ve yet to add the Lowther to our CV at Middleham Park, let’s hope this filly can rectify this in 2022.
She wintered at Joe Foley’s Ballyhane Stud. He’s prepped the likes of Lowther winner Living In The Past and Grade 1 winner La Pelosa in recent times. Joe describes her as “a beauty” as she headed across from Ireland to join Karl's yard. She’s strong, well bred, and has a temperament to die for.
Racing Update: Took a little time to come to hand as a 2yo and shapes like an improver this season. 7f and a mile should be her bag, and you’d very much hope that 2 or 3 wins this season will be within her compass. Should run regularly, give all her owners plenty of excitement and almost certainly be moved on at the horses in training sale in October or the mares’ sale in December. Her race entries/declarations will show on this page.
Here she is at exercise (April):
