The Angel Of The North

Fallen Angel’s story is one that has taken her owners on a journey from heartache to hope, since her arrival into the world at Branton Court Stud.

Her Dam, Agnes Stewart, was Steve Parkin’s favourite mare who held a place in the heart of the family.

Sadly, they lost the mare and were left with a very special foal who was then poignantly named, Fallen Angel.

Little did they know that this filly would go on to become one of the leading contenders for a QIPCO 1000 Guineas; embodying so many of the characteristics that Agnes Stewart possessed.

Fabienne Parkin reflected “She looks just like her Dam which is really special. She was born here, we were all here the day that she was born”.

The dream is truly alive for owner/breeders Clipper Logistics and Karl Burke Racing. The daughter of Too Darn Hot impressed when winning the Sweet Solera at Newmarket, and further established that she’s all class when winning the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at The Curragh.

Jockey Danny Tudhope commented that “She’s very, very tough. When something did come to me in the last furlong, she fought them off”.

Following a winter break at Branton Stud, Fallen Angel has resumed her work at Karl Burke Racing as she prepares for her three-year-old debut at Newmarket in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas.
