Last Of A Legend
Last Of A Legend
2017 filly by Midnight Legend (GB) ex Blue Buttons (Ire) (King’s Theatre (Ire))
Last Of A Legend is an athletic looking three-year-old filly by the wonderful stallion Midnight Legend (also the sire of Drewmain 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 now has his first opportunity to train the progeny of a mare he has also handled! Last Of A Legend looks to be a precocious type, and will be one for junior bumpers this season.
