Lightress, a daughter of young sire Quality Road, was acquired as a yearling at the Keeneland September sale. She came from the consignment of her breeder, Stonehaven Steadings, which retained a share of the filly in the racing partnership, joining co-owners Robert Masiello and Scarlet Oak Racing. Stonehaven Headings also bred West Point youngsters Nuclear, Metro and Scarlet Avenue.
