Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}-Beauty Is Truth {Ire}, by Pivotal {GB}), winner of this year's G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas, has been retired from racing and will visit No Nay Never next year.
Trained by Aidan O'Brien for Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Mrs John Magnier, Hermosa broke her maiden at second asking at two and was placed in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud S., Fillies' Mile and Criterium International by season's end. After recording the Guineas double in May, she picked up seconds in both the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot and the G1 Matron S. at Leopardstown. Hermosa is out of the dual French group winner Beauty Is Truth, already the dam of Group 1 winners The United States (Ire) and Hydrangea (Ire), both also by Galileo, and triple Group 3-winning and Group 1-placed sprinter Fire Lily (Ire) (Dansili {GB}).
Hermosa will be joined in No Nay Never's book by Magical (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), this year's Group 1 Champion S., Irish Champion S. and Tattersalls Gold Cup winner who lines up in the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita next weekend.
