Does anyone have any information on the Reine-de-course Aurora?
Just curious as she turns up as the 5th dam of one of my mares, but I cannot find anything on her at the minute... Thanks

A nice mare she was, best know as the dam of Alycidon, the last of the many Great Ones bred by the 17th Earl of Derby (Alycidon was campaigned by the Earl's grandson after his death and perhaps you'll like to check out the pedigree of a more recent horse bred by the 19th Earl of Derby: Ouija Board).
Quite the stayer, and yet also a great sire, Alycidon. See also Height of Fashion's damline for Alycidon's half brother Borealis.
Aurora's dam Rose Red was a full sister of Sweet Lavender, a profoundly important broodmare (see My Babu, Ambioix, Klarion and Turn-To for starters). Please see also: http://www.pedigreepost.com/archives/Na ... ullen.html .
