The Weekender Pedigree: Harmonious
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
With an impressive victory in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland on Saturday, Kentucky-bred Harmonious won a race at the premier level for the second time in six starts. That victory emphatically confirms the high ranking of Harmonious among this year’s 3-year-old fillies. And she is, furthermore, one of 16 winners at the G1 level internationally for her sire Dynaformer.
The stallion is the active star of the Three Chimneys Farm breeding operation, and the 25-year-old is the last surviving top-tier son of Roberto at stud. Epsom Derby winner Roberto, in turn, was a son of champion juvenile Hail to Reason, and both were sires of immense international import.
Dynaformer has followed the same course.
