SOMETIMES the stars align and success comes from a modest beginning. Such was the case of Glass House, the two-year-old winner of the valuable Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale Race at the Curragh this year.

This daughter of Showcasing is from that sire’s second crop and his reputation is growing daily. By the time however that she hit the sales ring his first crop were still a year off running and many did not foresee the strides he would make at stud. Consequently the breeder of the filly received just 3,000gns for her foal, the first offspring of a winning Orpen mare.
