Naval Crown sired his first Group winner on Saturday, 29 August when his first-crop daughter Sea Of Rain landed the G3 Flame Of Tara Stakes. The most experienced in the field with six previous runs, she always cruised through the race and held on to win by three-quarters-of-a-length in the one-mile contest.
A Group 3 winner for Jim Bolger! 🤍💜

Owned, trained and bred by Jim Bolger, Sea Of Rain is a daughter of the winning Teofilo mare Neophilia.
Naval Crown, the winner of the G1 Platinum Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, has already sired some very promising runners from his first crop. Crown Of Ivy was impressive on his only start when winning at Doncaster, Napa struck on his second start at Newmarket in May, whilst Hell Of A Spin impressed when winning at Hamilton, and has since been placed in both the G2 Gimcrack and G3 Molecomb Stakes.
