This is a deep family that also includes MGISW and sire Tale of Ekati (Tale of the Cat), Eclipse-winning sprinter Gold Beauty (Mr. Prospector) and English Horse of the Year Dayjur (Danzig).
Keeping the homebred train rolling, Just Aloof (Justify) waves the Whisper Hill Farm banner as a daughter of GSW Aloof (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a mare purchased by the farm for $3.9m at KEENOV in 2014. Aloof, a daughter of English high-weighted filly Airwave, is a full-sister to SW/MGSP Keats (Ire) and a half to the dam of both MG1SW and successful European sire Churchill (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G1SW Clemmie (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
Widest drawn of the quartet, Kaffeinate (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}) is a half to GSP Sash (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) while second dam Promising Lead (GB) was a G1SW in Ireland.
