THE Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes winner Albigna won last week in the style of a filly going places. Bred by and racing in the colours of the Niarchos Family, Albigna is from a female line nurtured over many generations now by Maria Niarchos and her family.

Albigna is a daughter of Zoffany (Dansili) and one of 15 group winners and almost twice that number of stakes winners by the Group 1 winning two-year-old who has just finished another season at Coolmore Stud, this time at €25,000. She is the first stakes winner from his fifth crop of racing age.
