Pedigree

As the first registered foal of Miss Lucifer, Shuruq did her dam proud when nearly capturing her stakes bow in the UAE One Thousand Guineas, just missing by a nose.

The filly is by Elusive Quality, a dual Grade 3 winner and track record setter who has found much more success in the breeding shed.

Elusive Quality’s offspring includes the likes of champion Smarty Jones, who captured the 2004 runnings of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness; four-time Grade 1 king Quality Road; and Breeders’ Cup Classic upsetter Raven’s Pass.

Miss Lucifer, who is by Noverre, did her own dam proud as a Group 2 winner in England while on track.

Shuruq’s female family is full of high class runners overseas, such as Group 1 One Thousand Guineas queen Virginia Waters, Group 1 Derby star High-Rise, Group 1 heroine Chachamaidee and Italian champion High Hawk.
