SPIRIT OF THE VALE is the well bred import by ROYAL APPLAUSE from the MORE THAN READY mare NESMEH and is a half sister to G1 placed Gladstonbury Song - Winning Endeavour (H.K.).
She was a 2 x Winner over 2050m in Great Britain yet her pedigree is full of precocious speed.
Royal Applause is a broodmare sire of quality performers, such as G1 Stallion BLUE POINT and also has an affinity with the likes Redoute's Choice from limited opportunities, as shown through G1 winning Stallion Alabama Express and his dam's half brother - Randwick Kensington track record holder Shuffle Up.
