MG1SW The Fugue (GB) (Dansili {GB}) has delivered her first foal. The Lloyd-Webber's Watership Down Stud announced via Twitter on Sunday that the four time Group 1 winner had delivered a filly foal by Dubawi (Ire) (Dubai Millennium {GB}) and that the mare is “very happy with her first foal.” The Fugue was also bred by Watership Down Stud out of the Sadler's Wells mare Twyla Tharp (Ire) and the former John Gosden trainee enjoyed one of her finest hours on the racecourse when beating Al Kazeem (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the G1 Irish Champion S. At Leopardstown in 2013. Her final victory was also special when she beat Classic and Breeders' Cup winner Magician (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Treve (Fr) (Motivator {GB}) in a memorable edition of the G1 Prince Of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot in 2014, breaking the course record in the process. In reference to The Fugue John Gosden once said, “She never ceased to amaze us with her athletic ability.” If she can pass this athleticism on to her offspring the team at Watership Down Stud have lots to dream about.
