Jackie’s Warrior Emerges From Breeders’ Cup With Knee Chip, Expected To Return In 2022

After finishing sixth as the heavy favorite in the Breeders' Cup Sprint, Jackie's Warrior was diagnosed with a chip in his left knee.

According to the Daily Racing Form, the 3-year-old son of Maclean's Music has undergone surgery with Dr. Larry Bramlage of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, and is expected to return to the races in 2022.

This year, Jackie's Warrior has won the G2 Pat Day Mile, G2 Amsterdam, G1 H. Allen Jerkens, and the G2 Gallant Bob.

“He's an unbelievable, tremendous horse,” trainer Steve Asmussen told DRF. “I thought that the Allen Jerkens against Life Is Good was as good as horse racing gets. Unbelievably fortunate to be involved with him and very anxious to race him next year – because they don't get any better.”

Report: Jackie’s Warrior Has Knee Chip Surgery, Will Race Next Year

J. Kirk and Judy Robison's talented sprinter/miler Jackie's Warrior (Maclean's Music) underwent surgery last week to remove a bone chip in his left knee, Daily Racing Form reports. The procedure was performed by Dr. Larry Bramlage last Friday. “He is going to do rehab at Becky Maker's farm in Lexington,” trainer Steve Asmussen told DRF. “We do plan on a 2022 campaign.” A two-time Grade I winner at two, Jackie's Warrior annexed the GII Pat Day Mile S. in May and was second by a neck in the GI Woody Stephens S. the following month. He took his next three, scoring emphatic wins in the GII Amsterdam S. and GII Gallant Bob S. on either side of a hard-fought victory over the fellow superstar Life Is Good (Into Mischief) in the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial S. in August. The bay was most recently sixth at 1-2 odds in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint Nov. 6. It was announced last month that Spendthrift Farm had acquired Jackie's Warrior's breeding rights.

Maclean’s Music Filly ‘Nose’ Her Way Home

1st-Del Mar, $71,500, Msw, 11-12, 2yo, f, 5fT, :57.37, fm, nose.
UNBRIDLED MARY (f, 2, Maclean's Music–Bauble, by Tale of the Cat) amassed a very imposing worktab, capped by a strong half-mile gate move in :47 4/5 (3/37) at Santa Anita Nov. 7, and was off right at her morning-line odds of 4-1. Hustled along early by Joe Bravo, the bay traveled sweetly inside on the turn and was angled out sharply into the three path on the swing for home. Whether by design or not, Unbridled Mary dropped back down to the rail with an eighth of a mile to race and closed off powerfully to find the line just to the good of Pammy's Ready (More Than Ready). A $39,000 graduate of last year's KEESEP sale, Unbridled Mary breezed a furlong in a steady :10 3/5 (see below) and was hammered down for $155,000 at this year's Fasig-Tipton Santa Anita 2YOs In Training Sale. The last listed produce for her dam, Unbridled Mary is out of a half-sister to GISW Persistently (Smoke Glacken). Sales history: $39,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP; $155,000 2yo '21 FTSANA. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Curlin Tops Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms’ 2022 Stallion Roster At $175,000

Hill 'n' Dale Farm announced their 2022 roster and fees headlined by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, the leading sire of Grade 1 winners in 2021 with five. His stud fee remains unchanged.

Curlin's champion 2-year-old son Good Magic saw his first-crop yearlings very well received in the auction ring selling for up to $775,000. His fee remains unchanged as well.

Another young stallion who performed particularly well at auction was Army Mule, whose 44 first-crop yearlings averaged $112,000, with both a colt and a filly selling for $400,000.

New to the roster is Charlatan, a multiple Grade 1 Winner with earnings of $4,047,200, who will take up residence at the stallion complex at Xalapa alongside the farm's 13 other stallions.

Said Hill 'n' Dale president, John G. Sikura, “Hill 'n' Dale stallions continue to succeed at the highest levels. Currently, on the Blood-Horse sire list, Ghostzapper is ranked second by progeny earnings and Curlin number three with the most Grade 1 winners in North America. Maclean's Music has enjoyed a breakout year led by Grade 1 winners Jackie's Warrior and Drain the Clock. Kitten's Joy is consistently a leading sire and Violence has a prime Breeders' Cup contender in Dr Schivel. Our newest addition Charlatan is hugely popular with breeders and will be supported with our best mares.”
