Native Trail

€16,000 B 2019 16.1½HH (1.66M)
Oasis Dream – Needleleaf (Observatory)
Oct 1, Special Live Foal. Standing at Kildangan Stud, Co Kildare

Undefeated European Champion at two and Classic-winning miler at three. The only other horse to win the G2 Superlative, G1 National and G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas? Dubawi. Won the G1 Dewhurst like fellow undefeated Champions Shamardal, Pinatubo and City Of Troy – and in a faster time than all three. Exceptionally good-looking, by the sire of Showcasing and from the deep Juddmonte family of G1 sire Calyx. Supported with 155 in-foal mares in his first book.
