Milkwood Stud is home to a band of approximately20 select broodmares and their progeny. The mares have all been carefully chosen on a performance, conformation, and pedigree construction basis. There is naturally some luck involved whereby the one eyed, one time winning filly "Blue Loerie" (Elliodor x Blue Glide) became the founder of the "Fairy Dynasty". She produced a filly "Tarn Fairy" (by Waterville Lake) who was not accepted on the strength of her pedigree, for any sale. She was retained and raced by Ian and Nina. She won them 7 races and was never out of the first two places in her first 9 starts. Among her victories were the Chairman's Cup Listed), the Strelitzia Stakes (Gr. 3) and J.B. McIntosh Fillies Classic(Gr.2), she was beaten a short head in the Alan Robertson Fillies (Gr.1). Tarn Fairy's first foal by Jallad named Blushing Fairy now an early 3 year old, is the winner of 7 races including the Dahlia Stakes (Listed), Lady Slipper Stakes (Listed), and the Champion Juvenile Cup (Listed). She was touched off for 1st place in the Odessa Fillies Championship (Gr.2). Incidentally this filly was also retained by the stud, due to conformation faults. She has a Silvano filly (2004) and is in foal to him again. Her half sister, by Hermitage (IRE) (Storm Bird x Fairy Bridge) goes by the name of Fairyfootprints and is being kept. Blue Loerie's 2 year old filly by Al Mufti, Woodland Fairy won her debut in impressive style and followed up with a win at her next start.
