First foal arrives for world champion sprinter Harry Angel

Harry Angel, the world champion sprinter who won the Haydock Sprint Cup in record time, sired his first foal on Wednesday when Karijini produced a healthy chestnut filly at Brightwalton Stud.

"She's a very nice foal and very strong for a maiden mare," said stud manager Sean Keane.

"She's well put together, short-coupled and with good body and shoulder. I'm very happy with her."

Karijini, who won three all-weather sprints for trainer Archie Watson, hails from the Colorspin family of Meon Valley Stud.

Harry Angel broke his maiden in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes on his second start at two, and continued to progress as a three-year-old, landing the July Cup from Limato and breaking the course record when following up in the Haydock Sprint Cup.

Harry Angel stands at Dalham Hall Stud at a fee of £20,000.
