An impressive juvenile winner for Annike's team in 2018, Lille My was moved to another stable after that season, but fortunately she came back to us towards the second half of the season last year, and this Zoffany filly really does deserve to stay in training for another campaign. Annike ran her three times in the autumn and, although Lille My failed to return to the winners' circle, she shaped with great promise and there could be improvement to come from this lady. Her win at two came at the chief expense of Kikki Dee and Topas Royal, as she was way too sharp for her six rivals in a good maiden event over 900 metres on the turf. She confirmed that she was above average by taking fourth, 3 lengths behind Sea Race, in the hotly contested Amacitalöpning over 1200 metres at Bro Park in Sweden three weeks later. Last term, Lille My raced nine times and she was placed twice. Not exactly what one could have hoped for after such excellent two-year-old results, though she displayed her talent nevertheless, mainly when running on turf, and it will be interesting to see what she can accomplish in 2020. Lille My is quite speedy but she stays 1600 metres, the distance she tackled when third behind Nathless and All My Lovin last October. Lille My meets the new season on handicap 72, four kilograms lower than her highest mark to date.

She was bred by Lady Richard Wellesley in England, and is a half-sister to Muharrib (Oasis Dream), a winner at two and three in England for Godolphin, plus two other winners in England. These all did their best between 7 and 8 furlongs and their dam, Manhattan Dream (Statue Of Liberty), was a winner over those two distances. She was trained by Barry Hills, who also handled her high class half-sister Maids Causeway (Giant's Causeway), a winner of the Fillies' Mile (G1) at Ascot and Sweet Solera Stakes (G3) at two and runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas (G1) at Newmarket at three. Maids Causeway has become a successful broodmare and Lille My certainly has the pedigree to follow in her footsteps one day – but first, she needs to win more races. The chances that she will seem good.  GS 02 Mar 20
