Global Campaign’s First Foal A Maryland-Bred Filly At Country Life Farm

WinStar Farm's Grade 1 winner Global Campaign sired his first foal when breeder Country Life Farm welcomed a precocious Maryland-bred filly out of the multiple stakes-placed Teuflesberg mare Miss Mystique on Friday night, Jan. 14. An earner of $258,283, Miss Mystique is a half-sister to stakes winner and multiple stakes-placed Brenda's Way and is produced from the winning Malibu Moon mare Malibu Mystique.

“We were excited to breed to him and we couldn't be happier with this filly,” said Christy Holden, general manager of Country Life Farm. “Being a Maryland-bred will give her lots of opportunities to earn bonuses when she runs, and she's already showing us that she'll be a star.”

Global Campaign is arguably the best-bred Grade 1 winner at stud by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin. Bred by WinStar Farm, Global Campaign demonstrated the coveted combination of speed and stamina during a racing career that saw him win from seven furlongs in his debut at three to an impressive front-running score in the historic Woodward H. (G1) at 1 ¼ miles at four, just like his esteemed sire.

The Woodward, in which he earned a 104 Beyer Speed Figure, was Global Campaign's second straight Graded victory following a win in the Monmouth Cup S. (G3) where he defeated seven stakes winners, including a Grade 1 winner, in his previous outing with a 101 Beyer. All told, Global Campaign, who also captured the Peter Pan S. (G3) at three and placed in the 2020 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) with a career-best 106 Beyer, won six of 10 starts and bankrolled $1,321,080 for partners Sagamore Farm and WinStar Farm and trainer Stanley Hough.

A complete outcross in his first four generations, Global Campaign is produced from the late A.P. Indy mare and spectacular producer Globe Trot, who is the dam of only three foals, two of whom are Grade 1 winners—the other being multiple Grade 1 winner Bolt d'Oro and the third is multiple stakes winner Sonic Mule, both half-brothers to Global Campaign.

A $250,000 Keeneland September yearling purchased by Sagamore Farm, Global Campaign was booked full in 2021, breeding 177 mares in his first season at stud. He will stand his second season at stud for $12,500 S&N. For more information about Global Campaign, contact Liam O'Rourke, Olivia Desch, or Gareth Wigley at 859-873-1717, or visit WinStarFarm.com.

First Foal for MGISW Vekoma

Spendthrift Farm's Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}), winner of the GI Met Mile and GI Carter H. is represented by his first foal, a filly that was born early Saturday at Crowning Point Farm in Paris, Kentucky.

“She's a nice filly, we thought she was a colt because of how big she was from a maiden mare,” said Julie Rini of Crowning Point. “She has a nice shoulder and hip, good bone and appears to be correct. We are very happy.”

Bred by Loren Nichols, the bay is the first foal out of Bella Alicita (Bellamy Road), who was stakes placed as a juvenile and is from the immediate family of graded stakes winner Blazing Fury. Campaigned by trainer George Weaver for R. A. Hill Stable and Gatsas Stables, Vekoma won on debut in 1:08 4/5 before earning his first graded win in the GIII Nashua S. At three, he won Keeneland's GII Toyota Blue Grass S., and the next season added the Carter and Met Mile in addition to the Sir Shackleford S. at Gulfstream.

Vekoma, who retired to Spendthrift with earnings of $1,245,525, covered 222 mares in his first book in 2021. The 6-year-old chestnut is set to stand his second season at stud for a fee of $17,500 S&N.

Champion Almond Eye Foals a Colt

Dual Japanese Horse of the Year Almond Eye (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}) delivered her first foal shortly after midnight on Jan. 13, Silk Racing Company Limited announced. The bay foal is a colt by Shadai Stallion Station's Epiphaneia (Jpn).

Bred by Northern Farm and raced by Silk Racing, the 7-year-old claimed nine Group 1 victories throughout her career. Ridden all bar one race by Christophe Lemaire and trained by Sakae Kunieda, the bay won the 2018 Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown and G1 Japan Cup. Named the Champion 3-Year-Old Filly and Japanese Horse of the Year that year, she returned at four to win the G1 Dubai Turf at Meydan. Third in the G1 Yasuda Kinen later in 2019, she signed off with a G1 Tenno Sho Autumn title and was the champion older horse in the UAE from 7-9 ½ furlongs.

Kept in training at five, Almond Eye added the G1 Victoria Mile to her haul in May of 2020, and was second to Gran Alegria (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) in the G1 Yasuda Kinen a month later. Taking her second Tenno Sho Autumn in November of that year, she retired with a 1 1/4-length victory over Japanese Triple Crown Winner Contrail (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) and Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown Winner Daring Tact (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}) in the Japan Cup, her second.

Out of the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup winner Fusaichi Pandora (Jpn) (Sunday Silence), who later placed in that race when it was promoted to Group 1 status, Almond Eye is a half-sister to the Japanese listed-placed Unakite (Jpn) (Johannesburg). This is the extended family of blue hen mare Sex Appeal (Buckpasser) and her sons and successful sires El Gran Senor (Northern Dancer) and Try My Best (Northern Dancer).
