Noble Tune News: Half Sister Lady Serena Breaks Maiden By Seven Lengths

Lady Serena

Noble Tune’s three year old Bernardini half-sister, Lady Serena, broke her maiden at Belmont on Sunday in devastating fashion over 1700m, leading the race from the jump to open up off the corner easily on the dirt track, going on to win powerfully by seven and half lengths.

It was just the third start for the filly, who placed fourth first time out in Saratoga.

Trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Javier Castellano, Lady Serena never looked under threat at any point during the race, producing an astounding turn of foot reminiscent of Noble Tune in both his Group wins, the Gr2 American Turf Stakes and Gr3 Pilgrim Stakes – coming from behind to win very easily.

This is also the racing style of their half-brother Honor Code (by A.P. Indy), a dual Gr2 winner who recently took the Gr2 Gulfstream Handicap after a comeback from injury which ended his 2014 Kentucky Derby prospects.

Dam Serena’s Cat, a grand-daughter of Hall Of Fame race and broodmare Serena’s Song, has another colt coming through – a handsome bay by Tapit named Morse Code. The two year old is in Pretraining, his weanling full-sister shattering a sales record for the most expensive weanling sold in January for $3-million.

Hailed by breeders across South Africa as one of the best and most exciting stallion prospects to ever come to South Africa, with a pedigree producing Bold Black Type the world over, Noble Tune stood for a fee of R25 000 in 2014. His first foals due in August 2015.
