He will aim for the Kentucky Derby if he can win the UAE Derby.

Four Graces, a 3yo half-sister to McCracken, won her debut at Gulfstream today.

KatieK101 · Sun Mar 01, 2020 6:13 pm

Surprised no one has mentioned Mr. Freeze here after his win in the Gulfstream Park Mile; he's half to a few nice horses.

Out of the Tabasco Cat mare Heavenly Cat, he's half to G3W Heavenly Ransom, G3W Delimma, and listed SW Capitano. He's also half to Zayanna, the dam of G1W Wicked Whisper, G2W Point of Honor, and a million-dollar Union Rags filly.

(Not sure what his other half-sisters have produced but there are seven of them, so I wouldn't be surprised to find a few other stakes producers in them...)

Heavenly Ransom has produced MSP Red Wings (English Channel).

Saudi Sprint winner New York Central (Tapit) is a half-brother to G2W stallion Corfu (Malibu Moon) and MSP Runway Ready (Mr. Greeley).

His dam, Fashion Cat (Forest Wildcat), is a half-sister to G1W Peace Rules (Jules).

Almanzor Half Brother to Debut at Chantilly

Almanzor’s half brother, Another Sky, made a highly impressive debut displaying an impressive turn of foot to win going away under a hand-ride, final margin was probably 4-5 lengths!

ETA: Runner up is by Dubawi out of Grade 1 winner and 1/2 to Goldikova, Galikova

Thanks for the update -- that's a very nicely bred exacta!

The Pioneerof The Nile - Love the Chase 2 yr old

Hope he's got more talent than the majority of the other siblings.

Mylute · Wed Mar 04, 2020 8:42 pm

I saw this photo this morning. He has a lovely head and neck.

He looks on par with the typical Pioneerof the Nile horse IMO

She’s a very nice filly - and named after the first woman to wear the bikini (Micheline Bernardini)...She’s got a brutal post, but I’m excited to see her hopefully get a graded stakes win

*Half-brother to Game Winner

He just added the Grade 2 San Carlos to his resume. He's looking like a real nice older horse! Is he still, ahem, intact? Because being a half to Game Winner certainly wouldn't hurt his case as a stallion.

Indyan Giving passed away, right? What a loss.

They're the only two foals by Indyan Giving, right? What a loss.

Flagstaff is a gelding

Shame. But I guess that just enhances Game Winner's desirability, then.

Dreams Are Made (Tapit x Siren Serenade) won by a nose-hair in Gulfstream's 12th race, holding off an onslaught of challengers. The second horse passed her after the finish line.

She's half to G1P Luminance and her second dam is MG1W Versailles Treaty (dam of George Vancouver, Saarland).

Mylute · Sun Mar 08, 2020 12:58 pm

G3 Tom Fool winner Mind Control's dam Feel That Fire is half to G3W King for a Day, who was actually second in the G3 Challenger Stakes last weekend as well. She is also full to SW Ima Jersey Girl and half to SP Let's Parlay.

Slewfan2 · Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:29 pm

Four Grands, an Honor Code filly who romped in her debut in GP’s second race, is out of an MDO mare who’s a half to Liam’s Map. This filly looked very good..
