モーリス・ド・ゲスト賞
Continent, a chestnut gelding with a narrow white stripe, was bred by his first owner Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farm. He was one of the first crop of foals sired by Lake Coniston, a top class sprinter who won the July Cup in 1995. Apart from Continent, Lake Coniston made little impact as a sire in Europe, and was exported to South Africa where he died in 2014. Continent's dam Krisia, was a daughter of the Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Interval and a half sister to several winners.
