Lockdown, finished third in the 2017 G1 Kentucky Oaks, also has an unraced three-year-old Medaglia d'Oro filly and an Into Mischief yearling filly.[3] Lockwood's best win was in the 2017 Busanda Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack. Lockwood died in 2022.

Juddmonte Farms involvement in Idiomatic's family is to her great-great-granddam Monroe, a group 3 winner, group 1-placed runner by Sir Ivor out of the highly influential mare Best in Show.[4]
