First Foals Arrive For King For A Day, Lookin At Lee

Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions welcomed the first foals for young stallions King for a Day and Lookin At Lee last month in New York.

King for a Day, set to stand his second season for $5,000, was represented by his first foal when the Elusive Charlie mare Leoness delivered a filly at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater, N.Y. Bred by Steve Sinatra, the filly is the second foal out of Leoness, who also produced a Maryland-bred colt by Desert Party bred by Sinatra Thoroughbred Racing and Breeding LLC in 2020.

King for a Day, the only horse to beat eventual champion 3-year-old male Maximum Security to the wire in 2019, won three of seven starts and earned $260,550 for owner and breeder Stephen P. Brunetti's Red Oak Stable and Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.

The 5-year-old son of Uncle Mo out of the unraced French Deputy mare Ubetwereven won the Sir Barton Stakes on the Preakness Day undercard at Pimlico Race Course in his sophomore debut before topping Maximum Security in the $150,000 TVG.com Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park.

Multiple stakes winner and 2017 Kentucky Derby runner-up Lookin At Lee, set to stand his second season for $4,000, was represented by his first foal when the Dixie Union mare Rose Sayer produced a colt at breeder Hank Freebern's Rocky Top Acres in Hudson Falls, N.Y.

The newborn colt is a half-brother to a New York-bred yearling filly by Frank Conversation also bred by Henry Freebern, Lance Freebern and Tim Hurlock and the unraced 3-year-old New York-bred Honorable Dillon filly Mo Don't Lie bred by Henry Freebern and Lance Freebern. She is also the dam of four other foals who made it to the races.

Lookin At Lee, a 7-year-old son of Lookin At Lucky out of the Grade 3-placed Langfuhr mare Capilano, compiled a record of 4-6-5 from 35 starts and earned $1,343,188 during his career with Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen and owners L and N Racing LLC.

In addition to his Derby effort, Lookin At Lee was a stakes winner and Grade 1-placed runner at 2, finished fourth in the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes and was multiple graded stakes-placed at three and a stakes winner at four.
