IT is a big step up from winning a maiden to landing a Group 1, but this possibility must surely be in the mind of the teams at Ballydoyle and Coolmore for Toy, as doing so would elevate one of their broodmare band, You’resothrilling, to superstardom.

In the history of the thoroughbred, just three mares are credited with producing five individual Group or Grade 1 winning progeny. Yet, few mares have a record at stud as good as the Group 2 winner You’resothrilling, a daughter of Storm Cat (Storm Bird) and an own-sister to the great Giant’s Causeway (Storm Bird).
