HORSE OVERVIEW
$2 million Fasig-Tipton Select Six Bonus! A regally bred filly by top stallion Quality Road out of a Grade 2 winning mare.
MyRacehorse and Spendthrift Farm went to $600,000 to acquire this beautifully bred filly by leading stallion Quality Road out of the Grade 2 stakes winning mare Lucy N Ethel. The old industry adage of “breed the best to best and hope for best” is certainly in play here with this filly. She’s a perfect balance of stamina and speed on the pedigree page. Her sire Quality Road has proven to throw great distaffers including 2017 Kentucky Oaks winner Abel Tasman, Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Filly winner Caledonia Road, and Grade 1 winners Bellafina, Dunbar Road, and Salty. Mare Lucy N Ethel was a precocious and speedy type for trainer Brad Cox who captured the 2016 edition of the Grade 2 Prioress Stakes at Saratoga.
Accordingly, we’re projecting she’ll mature into a nice two-turn filly that we’re hoping can stretch tactical speed into the classic distaff distances (see bonus info below!).
We purchased the filly from Woodford Thoroughbreds who are some of the most well-respected horsemen and consignors in the business. MyRacehorse and Spendthrift Farm multiple graded stakes winner Tizamagician is a Woodford sales graduate, in addition to all time great Midnight Bisou.
Fasig-Tipton Select Six Bonus
This filly comes with a $2 million bonus designed specifically for horses purchased by MRH at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale of Selected Yearlings. If this filly were to win the Kentucky Oaks shareholders would be paid a $2 million bonus (approximately $392/share prior to fees). Unlike some of our past offerings where the bonus was split in partnership with co-owners, this bonus would be paid out only to MRH shareholders.
