Description

Athena's Secret infoal to Stronger LSD 8/9/24

What an exciting prospect Aquis Farm's Stronger is - the Hong Kong Gr.1 and local Gr.3 winner ticking all the boxes as a high class sprinter with a great pedigree.

One of his high achieving sire Not A Single Doubt's 84 stakes winners and 16 Gr.1 winners, the 3/4 brother to star filly Lady Shenandoah looks set to join the likes of Extreme Choice and Farnan as successful representatives of this strong branch of the Redoute's Choice sire line.

A consistent mare who won over 1200m, Athena's Secret by the young Gr.1 ATC Sires Produce Stakes winner Invader, is being sold tested in foal to Stronger having been served in early September.

She is out of the imported Street Cry mare Main Chance whose dual stakes winning dam Fatefully produced the Gr.1 winner Favourable Terms and the Listed winner Modern History.

This is a strong international family, its other members including the stakes winners Berneuil, Countess Of Tyrone, Points Of Grace, Arthur's Ride, Victory To Victory, Alittleloveandluck, Class, Frosted Grace, Dr Feelgood, Great Spirit, Get The Sensation and Hear The Chatter.

Her foal (her first) will boast crosses of three outstanding mares within seven generations - Easy Date, Natalma and Special.
