WELL done to Derek and Gay Veitch in Ringfort Stud. This Rhode, Co Offaly farm is home to the UAE-born African Moonlight, a daughter of Halling who is broodmare sire of Group 1 winners Vale Of York and Folk Opera.

African Moonlight may be the only one of a pair of her dam’s 11 runners not to win, but she is rapidly making up for that omission at stud. Her first foal was a son of Moss Vale, named Sir Gin, and he was listed-placed as a two-year-old in Italy in 2013.
