Don’t Be has enjoyed a very fruitful 2015 and on Saturday 19 December she landed her third Stakes race of the year in the Listed Quebec Stakes. Run over ten furlongs at Lingfield, she swept to the front inside the final furlong and held off the late challenge of Grendisar by a neck with her paternal half-sister Lamar a rapidly-closing third. She was adding to her triumph’s in the Listed Conqueror Stakes at Goodwood in May and the Cooley Fillies’ Stakes at Dundalk in Ireland.
Bred by P E Barrett, Don’t Be is a daughter of the Group-placed juvenile Faslen, herself a granddaughter of the Champion Sleepytime. Faslen has produced two winners, Don’t Be and last seasons winning juvenile Star Citizen (New Approach).
Cape Cross, who stands at a fee of €20,000, has sired 27 Stakes horses this season including Derby hero and new Darley stallion Golden Horn, who is standing at Dalham Hall Stud at a fee of £60,000.
