Albigna

[3] Freedonia's dam Forest Rain was a half-sister to Domedriver and as a great-granddaughter of the American broodmare Sex Appeal (foaled 1970) was closely related to El Gran Senor and Try My Best.

After settling in seventh pace she made rapid progress in the final furlong, caught the Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite Tango in the last strides and won by a head with another O'Brien trainee Precious Moments in third.

[9] For her next start the filly was sent to France for the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac over 1400 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp Racecourse.

[9] On her final run of 2019 Albigna was sent to California for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on firm ground at Santa Anita Park on 1 November.

She was restrained at the rear of the field before making steady progress in the last quarter mile but was never able to challenge the leaders and came home fourth behind Sharing, Daahyeh and Sweet Melania.

[11] The flat racing season in Ireland was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Irish 1000 Guineas was run three weeks later than usual on 13 June behind closed doors at the Curragh.

Albigna started the 6/5 favourite in an eleven-runner field but never looked likely to win and finished sixth, four and a half lengths behind the winner Peaceful.

[12] She was then dropped in class for the Group 3 Snow Fairy Stakes at the Curragh in August when she started favourite but was beaten into second place by Thundering Nights.

In the Matron Stakes in September she came home fourth of the eleven runners behind Champers Elysees, beaten four and a half lengths by the winner.
