Yielding to soft, soft in places View all races

Formscan By Tom Weekes - ALBANY COUNTY has an excellent pedigree and has shown smart ability. A half-brother to three Group winners, including English 1,000 Guineas winner Mother Earth, the selection was an eye catcher on debut and while beaten seven lengths into second place at the Curragh subsequently, that race’s high-class winner Darkness Falls scored in Group 1 company last weekend. Breath Of Paradise finished narrowly ahead of the selection in that mid-August Curragh maiden but was race-fit and experienced for that race, so should struggle to confirm placings. Mount Meru is out of a half-sister to English St Leger winner Logician. Pirate Of Penzance is a half-brother to Breeders Cup Juvenile winner Newspaperofrecord, the dam of Benvenuto Cellini.
