She comes with a big pedigree as Spanish Angel is a full sister to Group I winner Mangoustine from the family of dual Group I winner Flotilla.

“She’s a lovely filly that really stood out from the others,” said Eric Hoyeau.

“Arthur couldn’t be here so he put me in charge of this purchase for a partnership of owners.”
