Royal Descent is one of the very best race horses in Australia and thanks to Aushorse and her owner, Gerry Harvey, you can own 10 per cent in the mare when she runs in the $3 million Group One Star Doncaster Mile, one of Australia's greatest races, on Day 1 of the Championships, 4th April 2015.

Be there in the mounting yard with trainer Chris Waller as he gives final instructions to her jockey, enjoy the ultimate in hospitality at Sydney's Royal Randwick, and pick up your share of an incredible $3 million in prize money in the Group One contest- that could be a massive $150,000 if she wins.

All you have to do is tell us what you would name her first foal.

The mare boasts an enviable record at Royal Randwick: she won the AJC Group One Australian Oaks by 10 lengths and has since been beaten by the shortest of margins in last year's Star Doncaster and Epsom Handicap, both ran over a mile at the famous track.

This year the Star Doncaster will be the centrepiece of the first day of The Championships on April 4, Sydney's premier race meeting, which features some eight Group One races and almost $20 million in prize money.
