First foal of Jacqueline Quest set to make her debut
Hibiscus was purchased by MV Magnier for 625,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2014
The concluding 1m½f fillies maiden at Gowran Park on Wednesday features the first foal out of Jacqueline Quest, the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar who finished first past the post in the 2010 1,000 Guineas only to be demoted and placed second behind Special Duty.
Hibiscus, a three-year-old daughter of Galileo, lines up at 8.30pm for Aidan O'Brien having been purchased by MV Magnier for 625,000gns at the 2014 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
That sum is only the second most expensive paid for offspring of Jacqueline Quest as at last year's Tattersalls October Yearling Sale the China Horse Club and Qatar Racing combined to buy her 2014 colt by Galileo for 1,200,000gns.
