Broodmare Focus: Marvellous

Marvellous confirmed she was a talented filly when winning the Group 1 Irish 1000G. She later started favourite for the Oaks but finished sixth behind Taghrooda. Her last race was in the Irish Oaks where she again dissapointed when finishing in eighth. She has since been retired by Coolmore. 

Marvellous is bred on the same Galileo/Storm Cat cross as multiple Group 1 winner Misty For Me. Marvellous is the first foal out of 2yo Group 2 Cherry Hinton stakes & Group 3 Swordlestown stud stakes winner You'reSoThrilling. She is a full sister to multiple Group 1 winner & champion sire Giants Causeway. Her other full siblings include stakes performers Freud, Roar Of The Tiger, Tumblebrutas & Tiger Dance, each of them were Group placed. 

Marvellous second dam is the ultra tough mare Mariah's Storm. A daughter of Rahy, she was a multiple Graded winner & was also Grade 1 placed. Mariah's Storm has made a huge impact as a broodmare with Giants Causeway being one of North America's most successful sires. Mariahs Storm herself is a half sister to Panoramic, a Group 2 winner in France, he was later placed at Grade 1 level in America. They are out of Grade 3 winner Immense. This is also from the immediate family of Grade 1 placed Quest Star. 

You'resothrilling seems to be following in her dams hoofprints as a successful broodmare. Her second foal is 2yo maiden winner Gleneagles, a brother to Marvellous, there have been good reports about his ability from Ballydoyle & he is clearly one to note. He has some Group 1 entries later on in the year. You'resothrilling's yearling is a Galileo sister to Marvellous & Gleneagles.
