Royal Supremacy
Royal Supremacy is one of four winners out of Adelasia (Iffraaj), who won as a two-year-old. He is a half-brother to Adelaise (Lawman), winner of the Listed Snowdrop Stakes, and to Halite (Fascinating Rock), a Listed-placed hurdler. The second dam Flaming Song (Darshaan) won at two and has produced ten winners, headed by two Group winners in Germany: the sire Fight Club (Lavirco), winner of the Gr.2 Merrill Lynch Euro Cup, and the Group 3 winner Flambo (Platini). She is also the grandam of Haqeeqy (Lope De Vega), winner of the Listed HH The President Cup. Adelasia has a yearling filly by Minzaal.
