Alpinista racks up seventh straight in BC WAYI Yorkshire Oaks

Albanova produced a total of four stakes winners, including Group 3 scorer Algometer and All at Sea, herself the dam of current Queen’s Vase (G2) hero Eldar Eldarov. Albanova’s full sister, two-time Champion S. (G1) queen Alborada, is herself the ancestress of such major performers as Alyssa, Shine So Bright, and Albaflora, runner-up to Snowfall in the 2021 Yorkshire Oaks.

Further back, this is the extended family of Group 1 winners Quarter Moon, Yesterday, Galileo Chrome, Aussie Rules, Allegretto, and Coronet. The latter pair both placed twice in the Yorkshire Oaks, Allegretto in 2006-07 and Coronet playing second fiddle to Enable (2017) and Sea of Class (2018).
