Cotai Glory x Knocklane Lass
This exceptionally well-balanced Cotai Glory colt carries all the elegance and precocity you look for in a quality two-year-old.
His movement is fluent and efficient, his attitude mature, and his physique has that racy, athletic shape Cotai Glory stamps so consistently on his sharpest juveniles.
Out of Knocklane Lass — a mare who won as a 2yo herself by Profitable.
He looks very much the type to thrive early, with the physical readiness and natural pace to be out in the spring and competitive from the outset.
A stylish, forward colt with genuine 2YO potential and the profile to deliver memorable, enjoyable race days throughout the season.
