Toast To Vino Rosso: Stallion’s First Foal Is ‘Not Afraid Of A Thing’

Throughout the breeding season, the Paulick Report will be sharing photos of foals from the first crop of Spendthrift Farm's Breeders' Cup Classic winner Vino Rosso in the “Toast to Vino Rosso” series.

This time around, we're turning our focus on a history-making filly in the stud career of Vino Rosso. This is the first foal out of the Grade 1-winning son of Curlin, born at Brandywine Farm in Paris, Ky., on Jan 5.

She's the second foal out of the Malibu Moon mare Shine Time.

The dam is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Royal Mo and stakes winner Tara From the Cape. Her extended family includes Grade 2-winning second dam Irish Linnet, and Grade 2-placed stakes winner Irish Art.

“She's very correct,” breeder Pam Robinson of Brandywine Farm said of the foal. “She's balanced, precocious, and smart. From day one, she's loved people, and she's not afraid of a thing. She'll march right up to you and expects to have attention.”

While Brandywine Farm is frequently a supporter of Spendthrift's incoming stallions, Robinson said they were especially drawn to Vino Rosso in his first season at stud.

“We bred four mares to that stallion, and we hardly ever breed that many mares to the same horse, so we're pretty high on him,” she said. “We're sending three mares back to him this year, so we're counting on him being well received by the public. I think he will be.”

Vino Rosso, a 6-year-old son of Curlin, stands at Spendthrift Farm for an advertised fee of $25,000.

Vino Rosso won won six of 15 starts and earned $4,803,125 on the racetrack. In addition to his signature Breeders' Cup Classic score, the stallion picked up victories in the Grade 1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita Stakes, and the G2 Wood Memorial Stakes.

Champion Vino Rosso Represented by First Foal

Spendthrift Farm’s Vino Rosso (Curlin–Mythical Bride, by Street Cry {Ire}), the champion older dirt male and winner of the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2019, was represented by his first foal Jan. 5 when the 6-year-old mare Shine Time (Malibu Moon) produced a filly at Jim and Pam Robinson’s Brandywine Farm in Paris, Kentucky.

“I tell you what, you could not ask for a better foal. She is just beautiful and very smart,” Pam Robinson said. “Physically, she is a strong filly with good bone. I cannot say enough positive things about her. In 46 years of breeding, we have never sent three mares to a first-year stallion before, but we did to Vino Rosso last year. I think that tells you how much we think of the stallion, and we are sending a couple back to him this year.”

Vino Rosso is standing the 2021 breeding season for a fee of $25,000, stands and nurses terms.

‘Beautiful And Very Smart’: First Foal Is A Filly For Spendthrift Farm’s Vino Rosso

Spendthrift Farm stallion Vino Rosso, the 2019 Champion Older Male and Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) hero, sired his first reported foal the night of Jan. 5th when a filly was born at Jim and Pam Robinson's Brandywine Farm in Paris, Ky.

“I tell you what, you could not ask for a better foal. She is just beautiful and very smart. Physically, she is a strong filly with good bone. I cannot say enough positive things about her,” said Pam Robinson. “In 46 years of breeding, we have never sent three mares to a first-year stallion before, but we did to Vino Rosso last year. I think that tells you how much we think of the stallion, and we are sending a couple back to him this year.”

Bred by Brandywine, the chestnut filly is the second foal out of the Malibu Moon mare Shine Time, a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Royal Mo and the stakes-winning juvenile Tara From the Cape.

Campaigned by Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable, Vino Rosso was undefeated as a 2-year-old before going on to capture a major Kentucky Derby prep race – the Grade 2 Wood Memorial – at three. The multiple Grade 1-winning son of Curlin also won the G1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita at four. He retired to Spendthrift after his Breeders' Cup Classic triumph with earnings of $4,803,125, making him Curlin's all-time leading earner to date.

Vino Rosso is out of the multiple stakes-producing Street Cry mare Mythical Bride, a half-sister to Belmont Stakes runner-up and Grade 2 winner Commissioner and Breeders' Cup Sprint runner-up and Grade 3 winner Laugh Track. He will stand in 2021 for a fee of $25,000 S&N.
