Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Winner Outstrip To Stand In Brazil

Outstrip, the winner of the 2013 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, has been purchased by a group of 29 Brazilian breeders to stand in that country, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 10-year-old son Exceed and Excel had previously stood his entire career at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud in England, where his first foals are 4-year-olds of 2021.

His leading runners include Outburst, the winner of last year's Grade 3 Florida Oaks, French Group 2 winner Gold Trip, Greek Derby winner Gunmetal Jack, and Swiss champion Justin.

During his own on-track career, Outstrip won three of 11 starts for earnings of $826,800. He made his mark early as a 2-year-old, winning a Group 2 in England before traveling stateside to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita Park in what would be his only U.S. start.

Outstrip raced for two more seasons, one in the U.K. and the other in the UAE, with his best effort being a third in the G1 St. James's Palace Stakes during the Royal Ascot meet.

The British-born Outstrip is out of the Grade 1-winning El Prado mare Asi Siempre.

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.
