08 Veiled Glory/Royal Academy colt
"LESTER" Yearling colt by Royal Academy out of Veiled Glory. Half-brother to G2 stakes winner Major Success. Strong, muscular colt. January colt!

Veil Dance (dam of Veiled Glory) is one of those wonderful mares that throws runner after runner--not always stakes winners, but most have earned over $100,000. Her son, Major Success, was a Breeder’s Cup quality sprinter. Bobby Frankel trained him and spoke very highly of him. He was actually in the Vegas future Derby pool after he broke his maiden, and was in the Daily Racing Form’s top 5 sprinters until he was injured.  Another son, Dance Thief, was 2nd in the Williard Proctor Stakes at Hollywood Park in his first start as a 2-year-old. He then ran 2nd to Roman Ruler in his next start (MSW) and then ran 2nd to Lost in the Fog in his third start (MSW)--how’s that for hooking tough maiden races!!!  He became very ill, almost died, and never realized his full potential, but was obvious stakes quality. A daughter of Veil Dance, a runner in Japan was also stakes placed over there. Major Success brought $100,000 as a yearling and then brought $200,000 as 2-year-old. Dance Thief brought $55,000 as a yearling and was resold for $180,000. A Buddha filly out of Veil Dance brought $75,000 privately. Another filly, Veiled Glory, was bought back at the 2-year–old sale for $52,000.  Veil Dance is a ¾ sister to Corporate Report (he won a nice little race at Saratoga called the Travers!!!)

Veiled Glory injured her back as a yearling (a fall), but it was not diagnosed until her 2-year-old year. She was prepped for the 2-year-old in-training sales.  At the workout show, it started raining right before her work, turning the track to slop. She had the back injury, so she wasn’t 100% and the rider hit her several times (which she hated and he had been warned about!)  STILL, she went in 10.3 for the 1/8!!  Thus, she had the speed—the back injury prevented her from racing though.

The colt pictured here is by Royal Academy and out of Veiled Glory. He has turned out to be the combination conformationally that we were hoping for when we planned the mating. Veiled Glory is a stocky quarter-horse type; Royal Academy in a very leggy, elegant stallion. The resulting colt is powerfully built like his mom, but bigger and more elegant. He is, however, proving to be very quick. He also has a great personality--smart but tough. Currently training at Middleburg Training Center
