Final Touch was a race mare of the highest order for John and Karen Parsons with three Group One successes and numerous stakes placings.

His younger sister and stablemate Touchabeel also shows promise and has been in the money in all four of her appearances.
Their dam is from the family of Mic Mac, who was a dual Group Two winner and twice placed in Group One company.
