Social Smile, the unraced England bred mare of modest breeding who has been a cornerstone of quite a bit of the success achieved over the past forty years by the Lomar Park Stud, one established at Werombi in the foothills of the Blue Mountains near Sydney by legal identity Fred Peisah, helped bring more joy for connections on Saturday when descendants won juvenile events in Sydney and Melbourne.

Fresh from having another of her Lomar Park bred descendants, a Galileo (IRE) filly, top the Sydney Classic sale at  $200,000, Social Smile gained her latest successes as a matriarch in the winner's stalls through the two-year-old fillies My Lady's Chamber, one successful by 1 1/4 lengths at Rosehill Gardens, and Follow The Till, annexer at Caulfield of the $350,000 Inglis Premier, an event for graduates of the Melbourne yearling sales.

Now winner of four of her five outings and earner of $400,000, Follow The Till is emerging as one of the great bargains of 2005 yearling selling. Sold for only $10,000 when offered by the Dubai owned Emirates Park Stud, Diggers Rest, at the Premier sale, she is another major winner for Queensland bred leading two-year-old and champion Australian sprinter General Nediym, a resident at the Widden Stud, and is from Primary Vision, a daughter of Strategic and the Red Anchor mare Genial Red.

Successful over 1200m in Melbourne, the next dam, Social Heir, was one of eight winners produced at Lomar Park by Social Smile and was by the stud's imported foundation sire Le Cordonnier.

La Femme, a 1000 metre juvenile winning sister to Social Heir, is the third dam of the Billy Prain, Warwick Farm, prepared My Lady's Chamber, the Rosehill Garden's winner on Saturday for the family. A half-sister to the recent Classic sale topper, My Lady's Chamber is a daughter of the up and coming Danehill sire Arena, a resident of Lomar Park, and is the first foal of the Marauding Sydney winner Queen's Suite.

Now raced three times with the other efforts being close seconds at this track and at Randwick, My Lady's Chamber runs for a partnership of Lomar Park Stud, C.L. Krogh and the former owners of the Stratheden Stud at Tamworth, John and Kay Park, and could be a prospect to go two places better than her close relation Regal Chamber in the Golden Slipper.

Including among her owners Fred Peisah and C.L. Krogh and also in the Prain stables, Regal Chamber  followed up a win in the Group 2 STC Magic Night Stakes with a third in the 1997 Slipper, one in which General Nediym was fourth.

A daughter of another sire who did well at Lomar Park, Archregent (CAN), Regal Chamber is now the dam of three winners bred on the stud including another very smart performer by Arena in Regal Cheer. A winner earlier of four races including the Listed AJC Reginald Allen Stakes and second on February 18 in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes, Regal Cheer embelished the Social Smile family further on Saturday with third placing in the $101,000 Group 3 Millie Fox Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.

Follow the Till, My Lady's Chamber, Regal Chamber and Regal Cheer are among more that 50 winners got at Lomar Park using Social Smile and her descendants.
