Siblings (and offspring) of well-known horses

Olivier (Tapit x Feathered), the full bro to Flightline, just finished 4th in the 8th at Keeneland, a 7-furlong $100,000 MC on the dirt. Led for a while, but faded in the stretch.

He got claimed by a trainer I've never heard of, Josue Irizarry for new owner Carlos Disdier.

And the claim was voided because he pulled a shoe during the running when he grabbed his heel.

Since the claim was voided, it's probably a moot point, but I did read in a Facebook post that this unknown trainer and owner are Puerto Rican horsemen. Interesting.

That makes sense why I never heard of him. He hadn't ran any horses in 2024 and I didn't check previous results. The owner hadn't ever had any starters.

I think the Facebook post I saw said that the trainer hadn't started any horses here on the mainland since 2018. I'll never be able to find that post to confirm that, but that's what I remember reading.

Maybe I'm being guilty of some stereotyping here, but I was kind of surprised that Puerto Rican connections (who haven't started a horse in the contiguous US in 6 years)would come to Keeneland and drop a claim in for $100K! Maybe it has something to do with who his full brother is, but he certainly has shown no signs yet of living up to that pedigree. Then again, I have no idea what happens in Puerto Rico, except that their reputation in horse care and treatment is considerably less than stellar!

I guess it wouldn't really surprise me, if they want the horse that badly, to hear that they negotiated a private sale after the claim was voided. It was just a shoe issue, I guess. I hope not, for Olivier's sake.

Looks like 2018 & 2019. He really hasn't trained much ever, active from 2005-2023. With many years of no starters, only 215 starters total and almost half that coming the first 2 years. The owner had bought some mares in 2023 & 2024. So maybe trying to acquire a stallion to breed to his growing broodmare band?

He was entered in the Keeneland Horses of Racing Age sale so maybe they just let him go through that. I know some of the owners wouldn't care but maybe Jane Lyon does.

Scylla, Loved look to make a name for themselves in the Doubledogdare

VLEXINGTON, Ky. – They’re known at the moment mainly by their family connections – Scylla, full sister to classic-placed, multiple graded stakes winner Tacitus, and Loved, half-sister to multiple Grade 1 winner Maxfield. But on Friday, they’ll try to add “graded stakes winner” to their own descriptions, outright, as they go in the Grade 3, $300,000 Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland.

3c Internaute broke his maiden today at Sant-Cloud. His sire and dam (Sea The Stars - Solemia) both won the Arc.

Raging Sea is well-bred, too. She's a half to SP Welcoming, and her 3rd dam is Weekend Surprise, the dam of A.P Indy and Summer Squall.

Me too! I love his pedigree and he is a beautiful horse. I love how light he is already.

Dreamaway, 2yof (Flameaway - Dream Dancing, by Tapit) won her debut over the boys at Keeneland. Her dam is a G1SW. Her 3rd dam is CH/MG1 Beautiful Pleasure. And she is a 3rd generation homebred for John Oxley who bought Beautiful Pleasure as a 2yo.

She is already really light grey for just being 2.

Thanks for the photo links of Dreamaway and Dragoon Guard.

Accede (Into Mischief x Jibboom) returns in the seventh at Keeneland on Wednesday.

[brunanas]

does anyone know what Into Amore (Into Mischief - Embellish the Lace) looked like as a yearling? i didn't know she had RNA'd for so "cheap" ($295,000) until a TDN article pointed that out. you'd expect much more from an Into Mischief out of a G1w winning mare, no...? i could only find stuff for her year older full sister on Twitter. that sister sold for $1,250,000 the year prior, so that kinda tells me she either looked... too Into Mischief-y... or had a shitty vetting.

and she was also the only Embellish the Lace foal to not sell well.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Plum Tricky (Speightstown x Pretty At War) won the 9th at Keeneland, a 6-furlong MSW for 3yo fillies. Her 2nd dam is Plum Pretty.

Accede (Into Mischief x Jibboom) returns in the seventh at Keeneland on Wednesday.

Beat the favorite to win by 1-3/4 lengths.
