A 55,000 gns Tattersalls yearling, Art Connoisseur is the first foal out a 7f winning mare, herself a half-sister to three winners, out of an unraced half-sister to the dam of Balanchine, Romanov and Red Slippers.

This is the ninth winner and first stakes winner of the season for Tweenhills sire Lucky Story. Today's prize money rockets him to fourth spot on the second crop sires' table; he was 10th on last year's first crop sires' table with eight individual winners.
