Song, who is a full sister to Group 1 winners Yesterday and Quarter Moon, produced a Bay Filly by Juddmonte Farms' superstar stallion Frankel early on Sunday morning, at The National Stud in Newmarket. Managing Director of The National Stud Brian O'Rourke said that both mare and foal are doing well, and that the filly is 'a very nice quality, athletic individual'.

Song is owned by Mr Khalid Abdul Rahim of Bahrain, and will visit Darley Stud's Dubawi this year; she will return home to Friarstown Stud in Ireland, which is owned by Mr Khalid Abdul Rahim, at the end of the current season.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
