Roman Mist
Roman Mist
2018 filly by Holy Roman Emperor (Ire) ex Drifting Mist (GB) (Muhtathir (GB))
What can we say about this wonderful filly! Roman Mist really came of age in 2021, getting off the mark in April at Nottingham and notching up three more wins over the season. She is an admirably consistent filly; in her 14 runs in 2021 she was never out of the first four, and deservedly gained the all-important black type for her breeding career when finishing a fabulous second in the Listed Fleur De Lys Stakes at Lingfield on her final start of last season. She went one better on her second run of this season by winning the Listed Snowdrop Stakes at Kempton, before going on to finish third in the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom on Derby day. She is a super filly and we are so lucky to have a horse as tough and honest as her to race in our colours.
Roman Mist is out of the 102 rated mare Drifting Mist, who was third in the Group 3 Curragh Cup behind Bondi Beach and Order of St George. She is by a Champion Two Year Old, Holy Roman Emperor, who won two Group 1’s in his seven race career. As a sire, he is a consistent producer of quality horses including 1000 Guineas winner Homecoming Queen and Dual Group 1 winner Romanised, as well as some prolific winners overseas.
