THREE VALLEYS (Diesis), the course record breaking winner of the Gr.2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, and European Champion and Gr.1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner RAIL LINK (DANSILI) have had their first mares covered scanned in foal. THREE VALLEYS' mare is Hasten (Lear Fan), owned by Neville Poole and Alan Franklin, a half-sister to the Gr.3 Autumn Stakes winner Fantastic View (Distant View). Fairy Steps (RAINBOW QUEST) owned by Juddmonte Farms, a winning daughter of the black-type winner Light Step (Nureyev), who hails from the outstanding family of top-class fillies Quiff (Sadler’s Wells), winner of the Gr.1 Yorkshire Oaks and Gr.1 1,000 Guineas winner Wince (Selkirk), is the first mare scanned in foal to RAIL LINK.

THREE VALLEYS and RAIL LINK are standing their first season at Banstead Manor Stud, with THREE VALLEYS for a fee of £6,000, while RAIL LINK stands for £12,500.

Both stallions have been strongly supported by Juddmonte Farms in their first season. THREE VALLEYS will be covering full-sisters to BEAT HOLLOW and the 2007 Prix Marcel Boussac-second Conference Call, as well as a half-sister to the dams of Gr.1 winners Zambezi Sun and Continent. RAIL LINK'S book includes the dams of Gr.1 winners Powerscourt and Polish Summer, as well as the dam of recent American Gr.2 winner Costume.
