After Elle Gala foaled, we had to wait nearly a whole month for the next foalings. That moment finally came during Carnival festivities. On Shrove Monday Near Excellent, sister to G3 St. Leger winner Near England, produced a filly foal by Lord of England. Two days later, on Ash Wednesday, the time had come for North Queen. The G1-placed top mare by Desert King foaled a beautiful grey filly by Reliable Man.
