Trainer Bjorn Baker will set rising three-year-old filly Within The Law (Lucky Vega (IRE)) for this spring’s Princess Series. She is set to trial on Tuesday. “She is going super. We will go through the fillies series and I think she has come back a little bit bigger and stronger,” Baker told racenet.com.au.
You don’t get carried away but she has the temperament and everything about her suggests maybe she can be a filly that can go on to that next level. With two-year-olds, it’s always a bit of a question mark but I have a bit of a feel about her.” Winner of the Gr.2 Sweet Embrace Stakes and two Listed races, Within The Law went through the running rail during the Gr.1 Golden Slipper, returning to run second in the Gr.1 Champagne Stakes.
Within The Law is from the first-crop of Yulong’s shuttle stallion Lucky Vega (IRE) and is out of the Dundeel mare Contract Signed. Bred and sold by Yulong, she was purchased for $30,000 by Darby Racing at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale. She’s one of six winners already this season to emerge from that same yearling draft.
Lucky Vega (IRE) 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, Within The Law herself has already amassed nearly $1.5 million in prize money, an incredible return of fifty times her original purchase price. In 2025, Lucky Vega will stand at Yulong for the attractive fee of $38,500.
