NORTHERN Racing bred the Group 1 Saudi Cup winner Forever Young, and their associates Northern Farm are the breeders of Byzantine Dream who won the Group 2 Longines Red Sea Turf Handicap, and another Group 2 winner, Ascoli Piceno, at the weekend in Riyadh.

This was another big race win for a produce by a sire standing at the Shadai Stallion Station. This time it is Epiphaneia, the Group 1 Japan Cup-winning son of Symboli Kris S (Kris S). The four-year-old Byzantine Dream has a fascinating race record. He won his only start at two, began his second season with victory in the Group 3 Kisaragi Sho in Kyoto, and in his next five runs only earned some money when fifth in the Japanese St Leger.
