Multiple Eclipse Award winner Beholder welcomed her fourth foal on Friday morning, when she delivered a filly by Bolt d'Oro at Spendthrift Farm, the operation announced on its social media channels.
The filly follows Beholder's other Spendthrift-homebred foals: Q B One, a 3-year-old Uncle Mo colt who is working toward his debut start; the 2-year-old Curlin filly Karin With an I; and the newly-turned yearling Teena Ella, a filly by War Front.
Bolt d'Oro stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $15,000. Beholder's filly hails from his second crop at stud.
The 6-year-old son of Medaglia d'Oro won four of eight starts and earned $1,016,000, highlighted by victories in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, the G1 FrontRunner Stakes, and the G2 San Felipe Stakes. He also finished in the money in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the G1 Santa Anita Derby.
Beholder, an 11-year-old daughter of Henny Hughes, retired from racing in 2016 after an illustrious career that saw her win 18 of 26 starts with earnings of $6,156,600. She earned Eclipse Awards as the outstanding 2-year-old filly of 2012, 3-year-old filly of 2013, and older female of 2015 and 2016.
Among her 11 Grade 1 victories were three Breeders' Cup triumphs, including the 2012 Juvenile Fillies, and the Distaff in 2013 and 2016. Beholder also scored a memorable win in the 2015 G1 Pacific Classic, facing and defeating males in dominating fashion by 8 1/4-lengths at Del Mar.
