‘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.

Quality Road's graded stakes-winning son Cowboy Culture enters stud in 2021 at Dr. Roger Beam's Midwest Equine Clinic in Trafalgar, Ind.

Undefeated in his first three starts for Repole Stable, Cowboy Culture won the historic Grade 3 Arlington Classic by a widening 5 3/4 lengths.

Trainer Brad Cox said, “Cowboy Culture was a very fast and precocious colt who won his first three starts for us, including a stakes race. He was always sound for me and was as honest and game as they come. I'm sure he'll do well in Indiana”

Quality Road has sired no fewer than 11 Grade 1 stakes winners–nine of them on dirt–with only six crops to race. His sales offspring sell at the highest average in the world.

Located just 29 miles west of Indiana Grand Midwest Equine Clinic's professional care features an on-site reproductive veterinary clinic for the ultimate in mare and foal care. Dr. Beam's conception rate is among the highest in the state.

The 16.1-hand Cowboy Cultire represents an outstanding opportunity for the Indiana breeder looking for a stellar racehorse by America's leading sire. His 2021 introductory fee of $2,500 live foal is enhanced with an option to breed additional mares for $1,500 each.

Best of all, participating breeders will receive at no cost a Guaranteed Lifetime Breeding Right to Cowboy Culture after three contracts have been fulfilled.

Dr. Beam said, “We're excited to introduce this classy racehorse to Indiana breeders. His pedigree is unsurpassed and his conformation is impeccable. He is Indiana's stallion of the future.”

Cambre Retired To Arohra Farms In Ohio

Arohra Farms in North Lawrence, Ohio has announced that Cambre (Arch – Mourette, by Smart Strike) will enter stud in 2021. Cambre raced for owner Imagine Stables and trainer Kelsey Danner.

Cambre broke his maiden in his third career start in a maiden special weight at Tampa Bay Downs in a two-turn route race on the grass. He showed enough promise to later become a stakes-performer, finishing behind the likes of Standard Deviation (multiple graded stakes placed by Curlin) and Grade 3 winner Solidify (by Tapizar).

Cambre is out of Mourette (by Smart Strike), the multiple stakes placed producer of Sir Anthony (by Mineshaft), a multiple graded stakes winner of over $400,000 in career earnings, including wins in the G3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Handicap and the G3 Harlan's Holiday Stakes as an Illinois-bred. Sir Anthony still races in 2020 for his breeder/owner, Richard Otto.

Cambre's 2nd dam is Amourette, herself a multiple-stakes winner and black-type producer of two stakes-performers (in addition to Mourette).

Cambre will stand for special considerations in Ohio, and prospective breeders are asked to contact Arohra Farms for details.
