Details

Part of Vintage 2016. This beautiful filly is by the #1 ranked New York sire and by a mare who's sire is a broodmare sire of champions.

This horse was individually selected for Hibiscus Stables by legendary horseman Greg Gilchrist. Greg says, "As always this horse possesses the excellent balance that I require in a horse. She's nicely balanced and has excellent conformation. She's by Bluegrass Cat who's a proven leading sire. Also, she's a January 2nd foal which means that she has the potential to be a very early runner. She'll be older and more mature than almost every other runner in her crop. That's an immediate advantage."

This filly has an "A" nick. She's inbred 4x4 to Mr. Prospector, 5x5 to Northern Dancer, 5x5 to Secretariat, and 5x5 to Bold Ruler. Historically, for this mating, Storm Cat (and his sons and grandsons) bred to mares by Grand Slam have produced numerous stakes winners on both dirt and turf including G2-winning Bradester, G3-winning Scatman, and G3-winning Strict Compliance.

At stud, Bluegrass Cat has sired 27 stakes winners. Since 2011, he has annually been ranked one of the top 3 on the New York Leading Sire list. Statistically, Bluegrass Cat has an Average Earnings Index of 1.29 and a Comp Index of 1.97. This means that offspring of Bluegrass Cat earn 1.29 times that of all runners and 1.97 times the offspring of other stallions bred to the same mares. On the racetrack Bluegrass Cat as a 2-year-old won the Remsen Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct and the Nashua Stakes (G3) at Belmont Park. As a 3-year-old he won the Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) and the Sam F. Davis Stakes. He ran second in the Kentucky Derby (G1), second in the Belmont Stakes (G1), second in the Travers Stakes (G1), and second in the Tampa Bay Derby (G3). Overall, he had 5 wins and 4 seconds (4 stakes wins and 4 stakes seconds) in 11 career starts and $1,761,280 in lifetime earnings.

Bluegrass Cat's sire is the legendary stallion and Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) runner-up Storm Cat.
