First winner for Vale Of York
Breeders' Cup hero Vale Of York sired his first winner on Thursday May 1 when his debutant daughter Fontanelice easily won by nine lengths over 1000m at Milan.
Bred by John Martin McLoughney, Fontanelice is the second foal of Choisir mare Choose Me Please, who is from the family of Japanese Derby winner Deep Brillante. Choose Me Please also has a yearling filly by Iffraaj.
The best juvenile son of Invincible Spirit, Vale Of York was the thrilling victor of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, where he beat five G1 winners including Lookin At Lucky and Eskendereya. His first yearlings were very well received at the sales and sold for up to 150,000Gns, with the top earner being a daughter of Stakes winner Ahla Wasahl, who is named Vetlana and is in training with William Haggas.
