Naana’s Shadow

Naana’s Shadow was the star of the club’s first season. Five wins from ten runs took her from a 5f sprint at Catterick in April to the Group 3 Prix du Petit Couvert at ParisLongchamp in September, via the Epsom Dash, York and Glorious Goodwood. She ended the year lining up in the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye on Arc weekend.

Naana’s Shadow is exactly the type of horse we were hoping to include when building the club. She is a young filly by Havana Grey, one of the most exciting young stallions in Europe whose progeny are already gaining a reputation for their speed and competitiveness.

Her dam, Beauty Pageant, is by Bahamian Bounty, a stallion known for producing high-class sprinters. That combination gives Naana’s Shadow a pedigree that strongly suggests pace and sharp racing ability - two traits that can be incredibly valuable as horses develop with experience.

She is trained by Katie Scott, whose yard in the Scottish Borders has developed a reputation for nurturing young horses and placing them intelligently in races where they can be competitive.
