SHAAN (IRE) (f, 3, Iffraaj {GB}–Evening Time {Ire} {Hwt. 3yo Filly-Ire at 5-6f, MSW & MGSP-Ire, $167,992}, by Keltos {Fr}), a 300,000gns TAOCT yearling, was runner-up on debut in a mile maiden at Kempton Nov. 30 and became lit up by a bump leaving the stalls before tanking in a close-up second behind Australian Queen (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). Gradually reeling in that half-sister to Arabian Queen (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in a final quarter-mile tussle, the 5-6 pick rolled by with 150 yards remaining en route to a comfortable 1 1/2-length success. The dam has a yearling filly by Excelebration (Ire) named Groundfrost (Ire) and a colt foal by Lawman (Fr). Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $6,117. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
