He is also a product of Summerhill Stud.

The Charles Laird-trained filly Admiral’s Eye, third behind Same Jurisdiction in the Flamboyant Stakes, was bred by Mr P A M Magid and Summerhill Stud and will have to carry 57.5kg from a wide draw while the Mike de Kock stable inmate Wild One, second in the recent Cup Trial in his first race since running second in last year’s eLan Group Gold Cup, is set to carry 55kg from a wide draw.
