Hill ‘N’ Dale and Three Chimneys Offer Elite Group of Mares at FTKNOV

Three Chimneys Farm and Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency will dissolve a partnership comprised of an elite group of mares and foals selling at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. The offering includes three-time Grade I winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Guarana (Ghostzapper) in foal to Into Mischief, as well as her dam Magical World (Distorted Humor) (Hip 203), who is also in foal to that red-hot stallion.

GI Acorn S. victress Carina Mia (Malibu Moon) (Hip 252) is also part of the offering. The 'TDN Rising Star' is in foal to Uncle Mo. Blue-blooded champion Take Charge Brandi (Giant's Causeway) (Hip 247) also heads to Fasig in foal to Uncle Mo.

“This is a unique group of mares. All are either champions, Grade I winners or Grade I producers in foal to leading sires Into Mischief and Uncle Mo,” Hill 'n' Dale's John Sikura said. “Deep foundational pedigrees, brilliance on the racetrack and siblings by sires such as Curlin, Gun Runner and Quality Road which we retained bolster these outstanding pages. With these retained sons and daughters, we felt the time was now to enter a vibrant marketplace with a unique group with stellar resumes. The marketplace craves special and these mares are very special.”

“Three Chimneys is a strong believer in partnerships,” Gonçalo Torrealba, owner of Three Chimneys, said. “John and I are both buyers and sellers in the market and we both have collectively retained significant members of the families so in light of the extraordinary strength of the current market we agreed to offer this group at Fasig-Tipton.”

Grade 1 Winners Guarana, Carina Mia Among ‘Special’ Joint Offerings At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Three Chimneys Farm and Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency announced Thursday a joint offering to dissolve a partnership comprised of a truly elite group of mares and foals selling at The November Sale at Fasig-Tipton.

The offering includes 3 time Grade 1 Winner Guarana in foal to Into Mischief. The daughter of Horse of the Year Ghostzapper burst onto the scene with a 14 3/4 length romp at first asking. She captured the Grade 1 Acorn in stakes record time, in only her second start, drawing off by 6, defeating Kentucky Oaks winner Serengetti Empress. She landed the second of three legs of the New York Filly Triple Tiara in the CCA Oaks in her next start. The third Grade 1 win for the Three Chimneys homebred came in the Madison at Keeneland over Mia Mischief. A model of consistency, she compiled a record of five wins and a second from six starts.

Guarana's dam, Magical World who sells as hip 203, is also the dam of Stakes Winner and Graded Stakes placed Magic Dance, as well as recent winner Beatbox, who sold as a yearling for $2 Million. Magical World sells in foal to Into Mischief as well.

Another Three Chimneys raced Grade 1 Acorn winner is Carina Mia, the millionaire daughter of Malibu Moon set a track record in her maiden win, romping by 9 3/4 lengths. She sells in foal to Uncle Mo.

A true highlight of the offering is Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner and Eclipse Champion 2-year-old filly Take Charge Brandi, who sells in foal to Uncle Mo as well. The daughter of Giant's Causeway, a half sister to Omaha Beach, is out of a daughter of Broodmare of the Year Take Charge Lady.

“This is a unique group of mares,” said John G. Sikura, President of Hill 'n' Dale Farms. “All are either champions, Grade 1 winners or Grade 1 producers in foal to leading sires Into Mischief and Uncle Mo. Deep foundational pedigrees, brilliance on the racetrack and siblings by sires such as Curlin, Gun Runner and Quality Road which we retained bolster these outstanding pages.

“With these retained sons and daughters, we felt the time was now to enter a vibrant marketplace with a unique group with stellar resumés. The marketplace craves special and these mares are very special.”

“Three Chimneys is a strong believer in partnerships. John and I are both buyers and sellers in the market and we both have collectively retained significant members of the families so in light of the extraordinary strength of the current market we agreed to offer this group at Fasig-Tipton,” said Gonçalo Torrealba, owner of Three Chimneys.

CARIOQUINHA (Gun Runner), listed as a $475,000 Keeneland November weanling, is the latest to make the races for her dam Pure Clan (Pure Prize), a three-time Grade I winner on turf who was purchased by Torrealba Holdings for $4.5 million in foal to Bernardini at KEENOV in 2012. Undefeated at two and also a three-time GSW on the main track, Pure Clan is the dam of two winners from three to start, including Three Chimneys' Princesa Carolina (Tapit), who validated 4-5 favoritism in the Dueling Grounds Oaks over this course in 2019. Pure Clan is a half-sister to the pint-sized MGSW Greater Good (Intidab). Carioquinha is inbred 4×3 to Storm Cat, a topic highlighted in Sid Fernando's Taking Stock column Sept. 10. TJCIS PPs

IBERVILLE (Pioneerof the Nile) cost $260,000 at KEESEP last fall and is out of Fascinating (Smart Strike), herself a $1.2-million KEESEP grad who finished runner-up as a maiden to She's a Tiger (Tale of the Cat) in the 2013 GI Del Mar Debutante. Iberville is a maternal grandson of GSW/GISP Untouched Talent (Storm Cat), whose son Bodemeister (Empire Maker) won the 2012 GI Arkansas Derby before taking excruciating losses when making nearly all the running in the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. The colt's third dam Parade Queen (A.P. Indy) was a dual graded-stakes winner on the grass. TJCIS PPs

Immaculately Bred Tapit Colt Off the Mark in Japan

1st-Hakodate, ¥9,680,000 ($87,717), Maiden, 2yo, 1800mT, 1:50.3, gd/fm.
FIFTY CHEVY (c, 2, Tapit–Stopchargingmaria {MGISW, $3,014,000}, by Tale of the Cat), an $825,000 purchase out of last year's Keeneland September sale, made the majority of the pace in his June 13 debut going this distance at Tokyo before retreating in the final 200 meters to finish fourth. Better than a 10-1 chance for this second go, the beautifully bred bay was away only fairly from gate 11 and raced with just two rivals behind as they hit the first turn. Unhappy with his mount's positioning behind a slow pace, jockey Takeshi Yokoyama boldly hit the gas with about 5 1/2 furlongs to travel, allowing Fifty Chevy to stride into the lead at the 800-meter pole. Nursed along on the turn, Fifty Chevy responded gamely when set down in upper stretch and began looking for the line in the final 50 meters, but got there with a half-length to spare. Winner of the 2014 GI CCA Oaks and GI Alabama S. for owner Mike Repole, Stopchargingmaria was a $3.15-million buyback at that year's FTKNOV sale before being purchased privately by Louise and Kiki Courtelis' Town and Country Farms. Upset winner of the 2015 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff, the mare remained in training through her 5-year-old season and was knocked down to Three Chimneys for $2.8 million at FTKNOV in 2016. She was most recently acquired by Whisper Hill Farm for $4.4 million with this foal in utero at the 2018 FTKNOV sale. Three-year-old filly Stillchargingmaria (Pioneerof the Nile), a $1.9-million graduate of FTKNOV and her dam's first produce, won her maiden at Lone Star Park this past April and added a July 5 allowance, both on turf. Stopchargingmaria is the dam of a yearling full-brother to Fifty Chevy and a filly foal by Quality Road. The winning owner also campaigns Vanishing Point (Tapit), the full-brother to multiple champion Unique Bella, who cost $1.5 million at KEESEP in 2019. Sales history: $825,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $55,856.
