A Triple Crown-nominated colt for the connections of Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Westerberg, Jonathon Poulin and St. Elias Stable, SOUTH SIDE (Curlin) was a $500,000 yearling purchase out of the Fasig-Tipton New York Saratoga Select Sale. His dam, while unplaced herself, is out of the graded stakes winning mare Mariah's Storm (Rahy), who readers will recognize as the dam of none other than the full-brothers by Storm Cat, Giant's Causeway and Freud. In addition, this is the family of several Galileo full-siblings including: MG1SW and sire Gleneagles (Ire), MG1SW Happily (Ire), G1SW Joan of Arc (Ire), MGSW & GISP Taj Mahal (Ire), G1SW Marvellous (Ire), GSW Coolmore (Ire), G1SP Toy (Ire), and G1SP Vatican City (Ire). And while the prolific family goes on and on, South Side will seek to write his own chapter under the tutelage of Todd Pletcher with jockey Emisael Jaramillo aboard. TJCIS PPS
