Report: Mutasaabeq Off Derby Trail

Mutasaabeq (Into Mischief), a stakes winner on both dirt and turf, will miss an expected start in Saturday's GIII Holy Bull S. at Gulfstream and is off the GI Kentucky Derby trail, according to a report by Daily Racing Form's Mike Welsch. The Shadwell Stable colorbearer and 'TDN Rising Star' annexed the Mucho Macho Man S. in Hallandale last out and also captured the GIII Bourbon S. on the Keeneland turf in October.

“The versatile Mutasaabeq, impressive winner of the Mucho Macho Man, who was pointing for Saturday's Holy Bull S., is off the Kentucky Derby trail after coming out of a recent work with a minor shin issue, per trainer Todd Pletcher,” the report said.

A $425,000 Keeneland November purchase, Mutasaabeq debuted a sharp 4 1/2-length winner Aug. 8 at Saratoga before finishing a distant third in the GI Runhappy Hopeful S. Uncorking a powerful last-to-first rally to take the Bourbon, he was 10th in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf before taking the Mucho Macho Man by 1 1/2 lengths in his return to the main track Jan. 2.

Juddmonte Farms Reveals 2021 Mating Plans For U.S. Broodmare Band

Juddmonte is pleased to announce the 2021 mating plans for some of its high-profile horses in the U.S.

In June 2020, Juddmonte suffered a major setback with the loss of champion Arrogate. In his first and only three seasons, he was heavily supported by top Juddmonte families. For 2021, it was imperative that Juddmonte bridged that gap with some other top stallions in Kentucky.

Exciting young stallion Constitution will receive ample support from Juddmonte including Eclipse Award champion older mare Close Hatches, whose first foal, multi-millionaire and multiple graded stakes winner Tacitus, will be competing in the upcoming $20 million Saudi Cup. Also visiting Constitution will be Grade 1 Alcibiades winner Spring In The Air.

Soothing Touch, whose first foal was a four-time Grade 1 winner in Emollient, will be visiting perennial leading sire Curlin. Soothing Touch has a 2-year-old Arrogate filly named Mount Ararat.

Emollient, winner of Grade 1 races such as the Rodeo Drive, Juddmonte Spinster, American Oaks and Central Bank Ashland, will be visiting champion general sire Into Mischief. Also visiting Into Mischief is Hachita, dam of Grade 1 winner Announce and a total of four graded stakes horses.

Winner of the G1 Just a Game, Antonoe, will be visiting perennial leading sire Speightstown. Antonoe's first foal, a now 2-year-old colt by War Front named Parade Square, will be one to watch.

Winner of the G1 Humana Distaff and Madison, Paulassilverlining will be visiting Tapit along with super producer Rising Tornado, herself the dam of champion Close Hatches and the multiple graded stakes-placed Lockdown.

Quality Road, War Front, Munnings, Not This Time and Violence are among other sires that Juddmonte will be using in the U.S. this year.
