Lady Bamford's homebred G1 Prix de Diane Longines heroine Star Of Seville (GB) (Duke of Marmalade {Ire}–Stage Presence {Ire}, by Selkirk) has been retired and will visit champion Japanese sire Deep Impact (Jpn) (Sunday Silence) in the new year, according to the Racing Post. Trained by John Gosden, the 3-year-old won half of her eight trips to the post including the G3 Tattersalls Musidora S. en route to earnings of $755,071. A half-sister to English GSW English Ballet (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}), Star Of Seville hails from the same family as U.S. MGISW Winchester (Theatrical {Ire}) and U.S. GSW Middleburg (Lemon Drop Kid).
“Star Of Seville has been retired and is off to Japan in the new year where she is to visit Deep Impact,” Hugo Lascelles, Lady Bamford's racing manager commented to Racing Post. “We originally had planned to send her to Dubawi (Ire) (Dubai Millennium {GB}), but we were turned down.”
