The latter performed at 1m55 level with Chad Fellows and is herself the dam of F One USA, seen at the highest level with Emily Moffitt, Ben Maher, and Lorenzo de Luca.
Darry Lou also has up-and-coming younger siblings like Troy Z, who as a foal was sold for record-breaking €127,000 at the 2019 Zangersheide Quality Auction.
