Footsteps a firm favourite

... results from the Curragh on Saturday highlighted exactly why the horse many know simply as 'Footsteps' has built up such a following, as his progeny claimed two of the three Group contests on the card. The 2YO colt Marie's Diamond kicked things off with victory in the Group 3 Anglesey Stakes to become his sire's 31st Group-race winner before Larchmont Lad, already among his sire's 113 black type

performers, gained a deserved win in the Group 2 Minstrel Stakes. Those performances typified what has come to be expected from the progeny of Footstepsinthesand namely the mix of a thoroughly genuine attitude and an ample amount of raw talent.
