Lahaina Luck ‘22, a striking son of first-year stallion Improbable, was picked up late in the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale by MyRacehorse for $210,000.

The acquisition came just three days after MyRacehorse’s Seize the Grey took the second leg of the Triple Crown–the 149th G1 Preakness S.–and, like Seize the Grey, Lahaina Luck ‘22 will be turned over to Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The legendary Lukas’s accomplishments, still mounting at the age of 88, include four Grade 1 Kentucky Derbies, seven Preaknesses and four G1 Belmonts; plus 20 Breeders’ Cup trophies, 25 Eclipse Awards for his trainees and four for himself, and nearly $297 million in lifetime earnings.

Lahaina Luck ‘22 breezed at two sales this spring–he went in :10.1 (out in :11 2/5, :24 2/5) at OBS April, traveling very greenly and seeming to not handle that synthetic track surface; then in :10.2 (out in :11 4/5, :25 2/5) over the slower track in Maryland while still displaying some greenness, but also good response to the rider’s encouragement and one of the biggest stride lengths of the entire sale at 25.5 ft.

Physically, the colt is a very striking individual. He looks fast, but also extremely sturdy with great bone, a deep shoulder, a strong hip and hind leg. The MyRacehorse bloodstock team believes that the Apr. 10 foal has all the tools to be an exciting prospect once he matures mentally, and felt he had the right kind of build to blossom in the Lukas barn.

Improbable, the late son of City Zip whose first foals are two, was precocious enough to go three-for-three as a fall juvenile, capped by a win in the G1 Los Alamitos Futurity. He was second in both the G2 Rebel S. and G1 Arkansas Derby at three before competing in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, but did his best work at four. The Bob Baffert pupil strung together emphatic wins in the G1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita, G1 Whitney S. and G1 Awesome Again S. before finishing second to his stablemate and MyRacehorse’s Horse of the Year Authentic in the 2020 G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic–earning Beyer Speed Figures between 105 and 108 in each of those outings.

Improbable’s 2-year-olds have sold for as much as $475,000 this juvenile sales season, and interestingly all eight of his sellers over $200,000 through the Fasig Midlantic sale have been colts.

This colt’s dam Lahaina Luck is by none other than super sire Uncle Mo, who has been represented by two highest-level winners this year and two of the leading sophomores in the country in G1 Kentucky Oaks heroine Thorpedo Anna and Arkansas Derby romper Muth. Second dam Royal Lahaina (Chapel Royal) annexed the 2013 G2 Go For Wand H. going a mile on the dirt during a seven-win career in which she racked up more than $500,000 in earnings.

Lahaina Luck ‘22 will get approximately 60 days of post-sale down time at Rebecca Maker’s Shantera Farm in Versailles, KY before returning to training at the farm and then joining the Lukas barn, most likely in Kentucky.
