MGISW to Hill ‘n’ Dale’s Charlatan

Guarana (Ghostzapper–Magical World, by Distorted Humor), purchased from Fasig-Tipton's November sale for $4.4 million (TDN Nov. 10 edition), will visit MGISW Charlatan (Speightstown), the farm's most recent addition to Hill n' Dale's roster at Xalapa. Awarded TDN Rising Star status after breaking her maiden by 14 3/4 lengths, she followed up that victory in her next start with a stakes record performance in the GI Acorn S., winning by six lengths before adding a score in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks. She subsequently added a victory in the GI Madison S. at Keeneland. Guarana is out of a daughter of Breeders' Cup heroine Pleasant Home, who is out of a half-sister to champion Sky Beauty.

“We have received overwhelming interest in Charlatan from absolute top class breeders,” said John G. Sikura, President of Hill 'n' Dale. “We are looking to lead the way with our best mares as a bold sign of both our commitment to and our belief in Charlatan's chances at stud.”

Charlatan, winner of the GI Arkansas Derby and GI Malibu S., finished runner-up in the Saudi Cup before retiring with a record of four wins and a second from five starts and earnings over $4 million.

Grade 1 Winner Guarana To Be Bred To Charlatan In 2022

Hill 'n' Dale Farm announced today that Guarana, recently purchased from the Fasig-Tipton November Sale for $4.4 million, will visit multiple Grade 1 winner Charlatan, the farm's most recent addition to their roster at Xalapa Farm.

The model of consistency, millionaire Guarana compiled a record of five wins and a second from six starts. Awarded TDN Rising Star status after breaking her maiden by 14 3/4 lengths, she followed up that victory in her next start with a stakes record performance in the Grade 1 Acorn, winning by six lengths and defeating Kentucky Oaks winner Serengeti Empress.

She captured two of the three legs of New York's Filly Triple Tiara with her win in the G1 Coaching Club American Oaks. Her third Grade 1 win came at the expense of Mia Mischief in the Madison at Keeneland.

Out of a daughter of Breeders' Cup Champion Pleasant Home who is out of a half-sister to champion Sky Beauty, Guarana is reflective of the caliber of mare that Charlatan is attracting.

“We have received overwhelming interest in Charlatan from absolute top class breeders,” said Hill 'n' Dale president John G. Sikura. “We are looking to lead the way with our best mares as a bold sign of both our commitment to and our belief in Charlatan's chances at stud.”

Charlatan, a son of Speightstown, won the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby by six lengths and the Grade 1 Malibu by 4 1/2 lengths. With a record of four wins and a second from five starts, he retired with career earnings over $4 million.

Guarana’s Dam Magical World Sells For $5.2M at FTKNOV

Some 21 hips after her Grade I-winning daughter Guarana (Ghostzapper) was hammered down for a then sales-topping $4.4 million, Magical World (Distorted Humor–Pleasant Home, by Seeking the Gold) soared past that amount and then some, eventually achieving a final bid of $5.2 million during a white-hot renewal of the Fasig-Tipton 'Night of the Stars' Tuesday in Lexington. Whisper Hill Farm's Mandy Pope signed the winning ticket on the 11-year-old mare, who was consigned by Hill 'n' Dale, agent, to dissolve a partnership with Three Chimneys. Pope indicated that she would be partnering with Three Chimneys on the mare. Adding to her appeal, hip 203 was offered in foal to Into Mischief, and the bidding raced past the $2-million mark within the first minute of activity. The bidding hung just shy of the $5-million threshold before surging past and sold after another couple of $100,000 volleys. A daughter of 2005 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff upsetter Pleasant Home, Magical World also hails from the female family of Sky Beauty and Violence.

Guarana Takes The Lead at FTKNOV

'TDN Rising Star' Guarana (Ghostzapper–Magical World, by Distorted Humor) shot to the top of the heap at Fasig-Tipton November Tuesday evening, hammering for a whopping $4.4 million. Consigned as hip 182 by Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency as agent to dissolve a partnership, the 5-year-old was offered in foal to the all-conquering Into Mischief and was hammered down to Hill 'n' Dale. Guarana earned no-brainer 'Rising Star' status with a 14 3/4-length debut stroll through the Keeneland slop and backed up the effort with a six-length defeat of GI Longines Kentucky Oaks heroine Serengeti Empress (Alternation) in the GI Acorn S. at Belmont. Wire-to-wire winner of the GI CCA Oaks in her lone attempt at nine furlongs, the bay was runner-up in the GI Cotillion S. and was perfect in two starts at four, including a half-length success in the GI Madison S. back at Keeneland.
