Grade 1 winner and three-time graded stakes winner Gift Box's first foal arrived January 19, 2022 at St. Simon Place.
The colt, bred by St. Simon Place and Machmer Hall, is out of Chelsea Road (Speightstown – Lambert Point, by Charismatic) who was the top priced mare purchased at the Keeneland November Sale for the sire.
Tommy Wente said of the foal, “He's a big attractive colt. I'm very pleased. (He's) got great leg and substance and a very kind eye.”
Carrie Brogden added, “He looks just like his father did as a baby.”
Gift Box (also bred by Machmer Hall) broke his maiden at Belmont Park with an impressive 93 Beyer and went on to become the highest-earning colt of leading sire Twirling Candy. The stallion comes from a strong female family, whose siblings include Stonetastic, Special Forces and Gina Romantica.
Gift Box stands for $10,000.
