A few minutes before midnight on December 12, 2013, Silver Crescent welcomed her first son – a bay colt by the pure Polish sire Pilot (Fawor x Pipi).

Aurora Midnight Diamond was born bay and is greying. He has a small, odd-shaped star and a white coronet on his near hind leg.

After the birth of the Cressie’s colt, Pilot’s owner Owner Shirley Watts said: “I love this little colt, he looks so like his sire and I hope he does as well.  Many congratulations and best wishes for the future with him.”

Dime has two older half sisters, both pure Crabbet: Clouded Moon and Southern Star.

He is a very friendly young fellow and loves to show off in the paddock – and come for attention.
