More on midday

This ultra tough daughter of Midsummer won 9 of her 23 starts over 4 seasons of racing. Narrowly denied in the Oaks, she went on to record 6 Group 1 victories. Her 2009 Nassau victory made her the first Group 1 winner to be shod by Ashmount Forge and thus earned a place in our hearts. She went on to follow up that victory by winning the Nassau Stakes the following two years.

Her roll of honour included a memorable Breeders Cup Fillies and Mares Turf providing her trainer with his first and only Breeders Cup triumph. Another memorable moment was when she was narrowly beaten by her stable mate, Twice Over, in the Juddmonte International stakes at York.

She now resides as a broodmare, part of the much acclaimed band of broodmares at Juddmonte Farms Banstead Manor Stud just outside of Newmarket, her foals include protégé of Galileo and Warren Place’s very own Frankel.

Midday was the Queen Of Warren Place, a brilliant race mare who hopefully will go and prove herself a broodmare of the highest quality.
