  YORK, 4.15, Mdn, 10,100, 2yo, 6fT, 1:12.73, gd/fm

  Alderney, F, 2, by Elusive Quality

1st Dam: Adonesque (Ire) (SW & GSP-Ire), by Sadler's Wells

2nd Dam: Mira Adonde, by Sharpen Up (GB)

3rd Dam: Lettre d' Amour, by Caro (Ire)

Alderney justified an entry in the Aug. 27 G1 Moyglare Stud S. with an imposing performance in this debut. Finding cover in fifth from the bell, the 11-4 chance was angled wide for her run with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining. Swooping for the lead soon after, the bay was ridden clear with a minimum of fuss to account for Dawlleh (GB) (Noverre) by an impressive four lengths. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, 6,542.
