Rainbow Heir Moves To Shamrock Farm In Maryland For 2021
Grade 3 winner Rainbow Heir has relocated to Shamrock Farm in Woodbine, Md., for the 2021 breeding season, where he will stand for an advertised fee of $2,000.
The 10-year-old son of Wildcat Heir previously resided at Ocala Stud in Florida, where stood his first season in 2018. His first foals are yearlings of 2020.
Rainbow Heir won 14 of 33 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $837,395. He was a stakes winner in five of his six campaigns, including the Grade 3 Jersey Shore Stakes as a 3-year-old at Monmouth Park.
A multi-talented runner, Rainbow Heir's eight stakes victories included five wins over dirt and three over turf. He tallied stakes wins on both surfaces over the course of a single year on two occasions.
Rainbow Heir is out of the stakes-placed Prospectors Gamble mare Rainbow Pride, whose seven foals to race are all winners, also including stakes-placed Follow the Rainbow and stakes producers Colorful Delight and Night Rainbow.
His extended family includes Grade 2 winners Santana Strings and Himalayan.

McMahon of Saratoga’s 2021 roster is headed once again by Central Banker (Speightstown), whose fee was reduced from $7,500 to $6,000 LFS&N for 2021.
Solomini (Curlin), who will be standing his second year at stud in 2021, also had his fee cut from $6,5000 to $5,000 LFS&N. Redesdale (Speightstown) was decreased from $5,000 to $3,000 LFS&N.
“Recent months have been very hard for everyone involved in racing and breeding and we are reducing the fees for our stallions for the 2021 breeding season to reflect the challenges brought on by 2020,” Joe McMahon said. “We feel confident that the New York breeding program remains the strongest of its kind in the world and our goal is to offer the best valued and most attractive stallions outside of Kentucky. We hope these reduced fees help New York breeders through this difficult time and we look forward to working with our breeders in the coming months.”

7th-KEE, $70K, Msw, 2yo, f, 7f 184 ft., post time: 4:24 p.m. ET
Well-related firsters take on formidable runners with experience in this wide-open event. Woodford Thoroughbreds homebred Wicked Bisou (Wicked Strong) is a half to none other than recently retired MGISW and champion Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute). Woodford sold their GSW dam Diva Delite (Repent) for $750,000 in foal to Pioneerof the Nile at FTKNOV ’18–she brought $1.2 million in foal to Justify a year later. Tom Amoss will send out both Wicked Bisou and Miss Dial (Dialed In). The latter is a full-sister to MSW near millionaire and 2018 GI Breeders’ Cup F/M Sprint runner-up Chalon. A $165,000 KEESEP yearling, she cost $310,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale off a swift :10 flat breeze. Steve Asmussen pupil Willful Woman (Nyquist), a $400,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad, is out of MSW/MGSP Foxy Danseur (Mr. Greeley), making her a half to former Asmussen trainee and 2017 GIII Fantasy S. heroine Ever So Clever (Medaglia d’Oro).
