Despite his somewhat diminutive stature, Worldly spent the first two years of his life at Normandy Stud with the demeanour of a horse having the world at his feet.
Oscar Foulkes writes that they weren’t surprised to see him show promising early form, and we were delighted with his maiden win on Sunday.

Of course, with his full-brother selling on the CRS Winter Yearling Sale this week, the timing couldn’t be better.
Worldly’s win also provided his young dam with her first winner.
She, of course, is the half-sister to the Cape Flying Championship winner, Sergeant Hardy.
With four placings from six starts, she was on her way to winning at least one race, but with the Covid lockdown stopping racing we decided to retire her to stud rather than continue to pay training fees.
Corsican Lady, the third dam of Worldly, produced just two foals.
Her produce record therefore takes up very little space on the catalogue page. However, having the fifth dam on the catalogue page gives the opportunity of showing that this is the family of Polly Bisqui, the mighty sprinting filly that won 10 races on the trot.
We look forward to seeing the name that will be given to Worldly’s brother.
We expect to see him burning up sprint tracks as a two-year-old!
