Guineas Fourth The Prettiest Star Purchased By Wathnan Racing

The Prettiest Star (Starman), fourth in the G1 1000 Guineas, has been purchased by Wathnan Racing. The maiden winner will remain with trainer Ed Walker.

Bred by Northern Star Bloodstock, the daughter of Ediyva (Kingman) is a granddaughter of G3 Athasi Stakes heroine Emiyna (Maria's Mon) from the family of G1 Gold Cup heroine Estimate (Monsun).

She made her first three starts in the colours of David Ward, with a debut win at Nottingham in August followed by a second-place finish in the G2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket a month later. The 1000 Guineas was her three-year-old bow.

Richard Brown, Wathnan's Racing adviser, said,”'The Prettiest Star ran a fabulous race in the Guineas, especially for one so inexperienced. She's very talented and, with luck, we'll have a lot of fun with her in good races at festival meetings. Down the line, what a filly to breed from: she's from a typically deep Aga Khan family.”
