Gran Premio di Milano
Wince, a large, powerful bay mare with a white blaze and a white sock, on her left foreleg was bred in England by her owner Khalid Abdulla's Juddmonte Farms. Wince was sired by Selkirk an American-bred miler who won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 1991. As a breeding stallion, Selkirk's progeny include fifteen Group One winners including Cityscape (Dubai Duty Free), Leadership (Gran Premio di Milano) and Kastoria (Irish St. Leger). Her dam, Flit, won one minor race and was a full sister to the American racemare Skimble (Dahlia Handicap).
