Space Blues' Sister Dance To The Music On Top At Newmarket
By Tom Frary
4th-Newmarket, £40,000, Novice, 5-17, 2yo, f, 6fT, 1:12.82, g/f.
DANCE TO THE MUSIC (GB) (f, 2, Dubawi {Ire}–Miss Lucifer {Fr} {GSW-Eng, $193,403}, by Noverre), a full-sister to the yard's triple top-level-winning Breeders' Cup Mile hero Space Blues, raced close to the early pace. Green running into the dip, the 2-1 second favourite battled gamely to overhaul Eskimo Pie in the final yards to earn a length verdict over that daughter of Kodi Bear. Miss Lucifer, who captured the G2 Challenge Stakes, produced as her first foal Elusive Quality's G2 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 1, G3 UAE Oaks and G3 Burj Nahaar winner Shuruq who in turn is the dam of Hard Spun's GIII The Very One Stakes and Saratoga Oaks winner and GI Belmont Oaks and GI American Oaks-placed Antoinette and Medaglia D'Oro's GII Royal Heroine Stakes runner-up Javanica. From the family of the 1,000 Guineas heroine Virginia Waters, her yearling filly is also by Dubawi. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $27,379.
