Palasport's surprise win at Rosehill last Saturday underlined what a prize stud owner Fred Peisah received over 40 years ago when he purchased Social Smile as a foundation mare for his then new Lomar Park Stud.

The Social Smile family has produced more than 100 winners, the big percentage by sires installed at Lomar Park with 20 including Razor Sharp (15 wins), Steel Blade (11), Super Elegant (19), Elegancy (12) and Mister Elegant (14), successful in black type races.
The family continually throws up good winners, one being Palasport, a 5-year-old gelding by Lomar Park's classic winning Danehill sire Arena.
Normally Palasport, now the winner of seven races and runner up in nine, has won up to 2500m ar Park.They bred seven winners, all the runners, from her dam, the Mister C Sydney winner Misinterpret and 12 each from her mother and grandmother.
Besides being a brother to Moderna and Anera, Palasport is closely related to the Arena Group1 performers Regal Cheer (six wins, STC Coolmore Classic, AJC Surround Stakes; second STC Queen of the Turf) and My Lady's Chamber (won Canberra National Sprint; second AJC Flight Stakes, Tattersall's Furious Stakes, BTC Doomben Roses).
