The Puissance De Lune x Firmity mating is PERFECT, highlighted by Puissance De Lune’s damsire Unbridled’s Song combining with Zafonic for an incredible 13% stakes winners to runners, including 5-time Gr.1 winner CLOSE HATCHES and dual Gr.1 winner SISKIN.
Iffraaj is the outstanding broodmare sire of 21 individual stakes winners including 14-time Group 1 winning champion MELODY BELLE!
Firmity was an impressive $220,000 yearling and a granddaughter of group winning, stakes producing mare THE PERFUME GARDEN.
