Calendar Girl has quickly announced herself as one of the most exciting juvenile fillies in training. She made a sparkling debut at Newbury, followed by a brave run under a penalty at Epsom, before storming to victory in the prestigious £300,000 Weatherbys Scientific 2-Y-O Stakes at Doncaster. She has also added the Oh So Sharp Stakes (Group 3) to her record, making her the highest-earning two-year-old filly currently in training in Britain and Ireland, with prize money and GBB bonuses totalling over £250,000 in her first season.
Purchased for just 45,000gns at the 2024 Tattersalls Book 2 Yearling Sale, Calendar Girl is by the lightning-fast young stallion Advertise, a triple Group 1 winner including the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Although his oldest runners are only three, Advertise has already sired three individual Group winners in 2024, including Andrew Balding’s Gimcrack victor Cool Hoof Luke.
Her dam, Plucky Lass, is by the elite broodmare sire Medaglia d’Oro, one of the few stallions to produce over 100 stakes winners both as a sire and as a broodmare sire. Calendar Girl comes from a strong and progressive family, combining speed, class, and stamina in her pedigree, which has helped her make such a dazzling start to her career.
