One Small Step (Ire)
2017 bay filly by Footstepsinthesand (GB) ex Ahd (USA) (Elusive Quality (USA))
One Small Step is by the 2,000 Guineas winner and leading sire Footstepsinthesand, who has recently produced smart horses such as Threat, Marie’s Diamond and Mums Tipple. The dam, Ahd, is by the top class broodmare sire Elusive Quality and is a daughter of Abby Road, a Listed winner in her own right for Brian Meehan. Ahd’s first foal, Hot Team, was a Listed-winning two-year-old for Hugo Palmer. One Small Step progressed nicely after making her debut as a three-year-old, and has been fantastically consistent for us, winning twice and rarely being out of the placings. She could still be unexposed now stepped up in trip.
