Three-year-old filly Theyskens' Theory, by Darley stallion Bernardini, showed her class on Friday March 13 when storming home by three-and-a-half lengths in the Listed Michael Seely Memorial Stakes over a mile at York. A winner of two races as a juvenile including the G3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood, she was highly tried afterwards, running a gallant third in the G1 Fillies' Mile followed by a trip to the US to contest the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Making her seasonal debut, she demolished a good-class field and will now look to take up one of her many G1 entries, including both Irish Fillies' Classics and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Bred by AR Enterprises LLC, she cost $250,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to the 2005 US Champion Juvenile, Stevie Wonderboy.
Standing in the US at a fee of $75,000, Bernardini's first-crop are now three-year-olds and he has sired six G1 horses so far including A Z Warrior and Biondetti, both of whom won G1 races on the same day on different sides of the Atlantic last October. He is the only first-season sire ever to sire juvenile G1 winners on both dirt and turf.
