Twomey purchased the bay online.The daughter of G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Lightening Pearl (Marju) was offered by Ecurie des Monceaux.The bay is a full-sister to G3 Athasi Stakes winner Lightening Quick (Frankel) and a half-sister to Matenro Diva (Deep Impact), who was listed-placed in Japan.Her granddam is the Silken Glider Stakes heroine Jioconda (Rossini), who left Japanese standout Satono Crown, winner of the G1 Takarazuka Kinen and G1 Hong Kong Vase, as well.Paddy Twomey, who bought the filly on behalf of Charlie Bond, said, “I think she makes great appeal for Bond Thoroughbreds being by Frankel and out of a Cheveley Park Stakes winner. It's a very fast family and it has been successful all around the world – there is a strong Japanese aspect to it as well. Charlie [Bond] is putting together a nice group of fillies between Stakes performers and well-bred unraced horses. She suited the programme and Charlie is keen to support Maranoa Charlie in a big way, so I am sure she will get her date with him upon the completion of her racing career.”The post Bond Thoroughbred Buys €800k Daughter Of Frankel At Arqana appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
