First Winner For Decorated Knight At Salisbury

The Irish National Stud's first-season sire Decorated Knight (GB) (by Galileo {Ire}) was the latest off the mark in 2021 as Silver Bullet Lady (Ire) took the AJN Steelstock “Real Steel” Fillies' Conditions S. at Salisbury on Sunday. A 40,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 2 purchase, the 7-1 shot who races in the same silks as her sire for owner Imad Al Sagar and who emanates from the same Roger Charlton stable was in rear early after missing the break. Despite understandable greenness on this debut, the chestnut was able to pull it together in time to overhaul Out In Yorkshire (GB) (Outstrip {GB}) in the last 50 yards and score by a length.

She is a half-sister to the Listed Eternal S. scorer and G3 Balanchine S. third Elusive Beauty (Ire) (Elusive Pimpernel), SW-Eng, GSP-Ire, and also to the Italian listed-placed Futuro Anteriore (Ire) (Diamond Green {Fr}). Her dam is a half to the GIII Dixiana Bourbon S. winner Keep Quiet (Fr) (Elusive City) and the GII San Clemente H. scorer Little Treasure (Fr) (Night Shift), with the latter being responsible for the GII La Canada S. winner and GI Clement L. Hirsch S., GI Santa Margarita S. and GI Vanity H. runner-up More Chocolate (Malibu Moon). Also connected to the G3 Weld Park S. scorer and GII Churchill Distaff Turf Mile runner-up New York Girl (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) and the GII Goldikova S. winner Rhythm of Light (GB) (Beat Hollow {GB}), she also has a yearling full-sister to Elusive Beauty to follow.
