Wonderstruck (Sea The Stars x Bordighera (USA) (Alysheba (USA)), half to George Washington (Phoenix, National, Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and 2,000 Guineas) and Grandera (Prince of Wales's, Irish Champion Stakes and Singapore Cup) is making her 2nd start today at Leicester, 4:55 British time. She was a very promising 3rd first out.

Also, her silks look familiar but I can't place why, any ideas?

Well I know they belong to Barbaro but why the heck is an Irish horse wearing them?

Also Wonderstruck scratched due to the soft ground

The Jacksons own Bordighera and bred George Washington. Obviously, they bred Wonderstruck, as well.

Ah I see! Didn't know that! I figured the mare could be owned by them seeing she is American but I had no clue they bred George Washington, did they sell him at a sale or did Coolmore buy shares in him?

He was bought by Coolmore at the Tattersalls October 2004 yearling sale for $2,050,335(US).

According to Racing Post Online, he was the most expensive yearling sold at auction in 2012.

Anyway, he was only 6th (of 9 runners). The race was won by the Sea the Stars filly WONDERSTRUCK, a half-sister to the great George Washington.

And multiple group I winner Grandera. Wow. Who would have thought an Alysheba daughter would become one of the world's best broodmares?
