WHEN the yearling filly by Kodiac out of Lady Avenger went through the Tattersalls ring last year she had an attractive pedigree. The second foal of her stakes-placed dam, she was a half-sister to a winner and she sold for 40,000gns to Tony Nerses.

This autumn her full-sister will be offered as a foal from the Fagan’s Deerpark Stud and the pedigree will be jumping out at potential buyers. What has changed? Well last year’s sale filly is this year’s group-winning two-year-old and what a swansong Shaden has provided for the retiring duo of Lady Cecil and Hayley Turner.
