Early this morning, FIGLIA NERA—an unraced daughter of HARZAND—welcomed her first foal, a promising filly by 2,000 Guineas hero CHALDEAN at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN. The filly, who was born shortly after 4:00 a.m., weighed in at 57 kg. FIGLIA NERA was sidelined by injury and never raced, but she hails from a distinguished family: she is a sister to Gr.3 winner FEARLESS HUNTER and, most notably, to FRANGIPANI, the dam of multiple Gr.1 winner and champion FANTASTIC MOON. and is booked to MODERN GAMES this year.
Her second dam, FRAULEIN TOBIN, is the foundation mare of GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG. FRAULEIN TOBIN produced the 2yo Gr.3 winner GERMANE and multiple stakes winner FABRIANO, as well as FOUR ROSES, the dam of Gr.2 heroine FOUR SINS. With these illustrious bloodlines, FIGLIA NERA’s new filly promises to be a noteworthy addition to the family’s legacy.
