Last Of A Legend (GB)
2017 filly by Midnight Legend (GB) ex Blue Buttons (Ire) (King’s Theatre (Ire))
Last Of A Legend is an athletic looking five-year-old mare by the wonderful stallion Midnight Legend, an excellent sire of fillies, and producer of tough and likeable horses. Last Of A Legend is out of the King’s Theatre mare Blue Buttons, who won a Listed race for Harry Fry, who also trains this mare. Last Of A Legend showed promise over hurdles in the spring and was kept in training through the summer in order to gain experience. This paid off with a lovely win at Bangor in July (winning a valuable Great British Bonus in the process!) which could be the springboard for a productive autumn!

Trainer
Harry Fry is an already successful young trainer who launched his career in 2012 after five years as assistant to Paul Nicholls. He enjoyed his first Grade 1 success in 2015 with Bitofapuzzle, followed swifly after by Unowhatimeanharry in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2016. Harry moved to an extremely smart, purpose built yard last season, and looks to have every chance of making it to the top of the training ranks.
