Restofthestory Is First Winner For Ocala Stud’s Jess’s Dream

Ocala Stud stallion Jess's Dream sired his first winner when Restofthestory drew off to an impressive 5 3/4-length victory in a Gulfstream Park maiden special weight on Friday, Aug. 28.

Trained by Eddie Plesa Jr. for owners Karl and Cathi Glassman, Restofthestory broke sharply in the 5 1/2-furlong event and quickly assumed command, opening three lengths on her rivals heading into the far turn. She widened her advantage through the lane to score as much the best. It was the second career start for the dark bay filly who finished second in her Aug. 8 debut at Gulfstream.

Bred in Florida by Ocala Stud and a graduate of this year's OBS Spring sale, Restofthestory is produced from the winning Harlan's Holiday mare Holiday Flare, a half-sister to multiple stakes winner Dream of Angels and stakes winner and Grade 1-placed Candrea.

Jess's Dream is a regally-bred son of Horses of the Year Curlin and Rachel Alexandra. A Stonestreet homebred, Jess's Dream was a TDN Rising Star after an impressive winning debut at Saratoga as a 3-year-old for Stonestreet Stables and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.

Jess's Dream stood the 2020 season for $5,000 S&N.

Restofthestory Becomes First Winner for Jess’s Dream

Karl and Cathi Glassman’s Restofthestory became the first winner for her freshman sire Jess’s Dream (Curlin) with a dominant score at Gulfstream Friday. Purchased for $95,000 at the OBS Spring Sale after breezing in :21 2/5, she finished second in her Aug. 8 unveiling here and was hammered down to even-money favoritism to improve this time. Seizing the early advantage, the dark bay ticked off splits of :22.54 and :46.15, cruising home to win as she pleased by 5 3/4 lengths. Mastering Bela (Cairo Prince) completed the exacta.

Jess’s Dream is the first foal out of Hall of Famer Rachel Alexandra. He made just one start, a ‘TDN Rising Star’-worthy debut at Saratoga, before retiring to Ocala Stud. Holiday Flare produced a He’s Head Enough filly in 2019 and was most recently bred to The Big Beast.
