New Stakes winner for Earthlight

Town And Country flies home late to win the Listed Scurry Stakes

Three-year-old filly Town And Country became a new Stakes winner for her sire Earthlight with a thrilling victory in the Listed Scurry Stakes over 5F at Sandown on Saturday, 14 June.

Trained by Henry De Bromhead, Town And Country was trapped down the inside behind a wall of horses with a furlong to run, and flew home when she saw daylight to collar the leaders, winning by a short head at the line.

Bred by Wansdyke Farms, Sh Bstk, J Burke and Oghill, Town And Country is out of the Group-winning Dream Ahead mare Sweety Dream. She is a half-sister to Group winner Romantic Style and Listed scorer We Are Dreaming and sold for 160,000gns at the Tattersalls Book 1 Sale.

An undefeated Champion juvenile, Earthlight became the fastest stallion from the Shamardal line to sire a Group winner when his daughter Daylight won the G3 Prix de Cabourg before going on to be placed in both the G1 Prix Morny and G1 Cheveley Park Stakes.
