Her fourth foal, the full brother Dreamflight, won the Gr.3 Prix Thomas Bryon and the Listed Prix Omnium II. Another full brother, Herman Hesse, was Group-placed in Australia, third in the Gr.3 Colin Stephen Handicap, and the half-brother Questionare (Galileo), a winner, was stakes-placed in Ireland.
Second damTruly A Dream
Second dam Truly A Dream (Darshaan) won the E. P. Taylor Stakes when it was a Grade 2 and has six other winners. They are headed by the sire Catcher In The Rye (Danehill), second in the Gr.1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains, and include Truly Yours (Barathea), a two-year-old winner in France and the dam of the Listed winners True To Form and Truly Mine. Truly A Dream is the third dam of Only Mine (Pour Moi), winner of the Gr.3 Lacken Stakes.

She is the dam of the sire Wareed (Sadler's Wells), winner of the Gr.2 Prix Chaudenay and third in the Gr.1 Gold Cup, and of Solo De Lune (Law Society), who was Listed-placed in Germany. Solo De Lune bred the Group 1-winning half-sisters Cerulean Sky (Darshaan), winner of the Prix Saint-Alary, then a Group 1, and Moonstone (Dalakhani), winner of the Gr.1 Irish Oaks and second in the Gr.1 Oaks, as well as L'Ancresse, a Listed winner and second in the Gr.1 Irish Oaks, Diner De Lune, a Listed winner in France, and Demurely, second in the Gr.3 Give Thanks Stakes.
