The second dam, Midnight Assembly, is bred very much like Storm Cat. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adding a son of Blushing Groom via Groom Dancer results in a dam bred on the reverse cross of Giant’s Causeway. War Chant adds the missing Roberto influence, plus it puts the Northern Dancer line back on top. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on that comparison, a mile and a quarter won’t be a concern for Midnight Interlude, and a turf future, as you say, may be in store as well. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
