She follows Rakasa, a filly out of a half-sister to Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner Valentine Waltz who won a 6f maiden at Goodwood on her debut on Wednesday.
Like Rakasa, the Andre Fabre-trained Night Garden is owned by Sheikh Mohammed. Night Garden is the first foal out of Australian Group 3 winner Wild Queen, a daughter of Loup Sauvage from the family of Group 1 winners Bentley Biscuit and Euphoria, and newly crowned champion New Zealand sire Thorn Park.
Night Garden and Rakasa are among a handful of European-trained juveniles who are the result of their dams being covered by Redoute's Choice to northern-hemisphere time at his home of Arrowfield Stud in New South Wales.
The three-year-old crop of northern-hemisphere bred offspring by Redoute's Choice includes Listed winners Elzaam and Tazahum.
Redoute's Choice, a son of Danehill, is sire of 20 Group 1 scorers including Australian champions Fashions Afield, Miss Finland and Samantha Miss.
