Pricey Pierro To Make 2YO Debut

Meanwhile, Power Legend (Pierro-Noble Quality, by Snitzel) will make his debut in the Ladbrokes Switch 2YO Handicap today over 1200m. Sold by Kenmore Lodge for $425,000 to John Sadler Racing at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, Power Legend is the second foal of a half-sister to group winner Our Joan of Arc (Beautiful Crown). The Pierro (Lonhro-Miss Right Note, by Daylami) colt will run against impressively-bred Amegdul (Medaglia d'Oro-Essaouira, by Exceed and Excel) who is having his third start, and ran fourth last start. Amegdul is a full-brother to Group 1 winner Astern (Medaglia d'Oro-Essaouira, by Exceed and Excel) and a half-brother to Group 1 winner Alizee (Sepoy-Essaouira, by Exceed and Excel), as well as stakes-placed winners Mogador (Lonhro) and Tassort (Brazen Beau).
