DEIRDRE is the best of three Group 1 winners sired by the 11-length 2010 Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Harbinger (Dansili) who stands at the Shadai Stallion Stakes in Japan.

All three of his top-level winners are from his third crop, born in 2014, and Deirdre could well add to her victory in last year’s Group 1 Shuka Sho if she continues the form which saw her won last weekend’s Group 2 The Ireland Trophy Fuchu Himba Stakes.
