Final Touch was a race mare of the highest order for John and Karen Parsons with three Group One successes and numerous stakes placings.
The daughter of Kashani has now made an impact in stage two of her career with her son Final Savings successful at Wingatui yesterday.

Their dam is from the family of Mic Mac, who was a dual Group Two winner and twice placed in Group One company.
