Description

Lot 321 Dark Heather

Lot 321 is 2014 bay mare Dark Heather (Cape Blanco) out of Dancing Heather, a half-sister to Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter Heatherly (Lonhro), who herself is the dam of this season’s G3 Canonbury Stakes winner Red Resistance (Russian Revolution). Dark Heather is the dam of one named foal, 3-year-old Leading Legend (Lonhro), a $200,000 Inglis Premier yearling who is so far unplaced. Her Super Seth yearling made $110,000 at this year’s Magic Millions in January, and she has a Wootton Bassett weanling which also sold this year, for $160,000. She was served by Wootton Bassett in October 2022 and is believed to be in foal.
