Heading into autumn 2012, it appeared that the final chapters on Green Tune’s legacy as a sire were close to completion, as far as the accomplishments of his leading runners are concerned. The late son of Green Dancer, a classic winner in France and one of that country’s leading sires, still had numerous horses racing across Europe, but no standouts. His best performer in training was a competitive 5-year-old mare who had annexed two Group 3 races in France before shipping to the U.S. and winning the Grade 1 Diana Stakes in 2011.

This versatile family now welcomes a steeplechase champion.
