Yulong sire Lucky Vega (IRE) added his fourth first crop Southern Hemisphere winner when Miss Lyra won at Hobart on Sunday. Fourth on debut a fortnight ago, Miss Lyra is trained by Adam Trinder. Miss Lyra was sold by Yulong for $40,000 at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale to Prime Thoroughbreds, and she is the second winner for stakes placed Pageantry (I Am Invincible).
Following a fantastic weekend, the week kicked off in style with another exciting juvenile victory for the son of Lope de Vega. I’m Lucky Too broke his maiden in just his second start when winning impressively at Toowoomba for Trainer Michael Nolan. He is homebred by J.K. Hurley.

Lucky Vega’s first Northern Hemisphere crop have just turned two and he already has two Irish bred 2023 born winners. His best in the Southern Hemisphere so far is Bjorn Baker-trained Group 2 winner and Group 1-placed Within The Law.
Lucky Vega is standing at an attractive fee of $38,500 and has proven to be an incredible investment for breeders, with yearlings selling up to $380,000 in 2025 and averaging eight-times their conception fee.
