Bred in Florida, this filly's extended family features champion Halfbridled, Grade 1 winner Mshawish, and Grade 2 winner Lu Ravi.
She breezed an eighth of a mile in :9 4/5 seconds on Sunday during the under-tack show.
Jimbo Gladwell, Top Line Sales: “She's a very nice filly, just a lovely disposition, great mover on the track. She walks like a panther. She had a half-brother that brought $650,000 last year, and she may be as good or better than him.”
Hip 620
B. c., 2021, Vino Rosso x Lauded, by Medaglia d'Oro
Consigned by Top Line Sales, agent
This New York-bred colt is out of the unplaced Medaglia d'Oro mare Lauded, who is the dam of one winner from two foals to race.
Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus and Preakness Stakes winner Pine Bluff highlight the colt's page, which also includes Grade 1 winners Demons Begone and Street Fancy, as well as Grade 3 winner Brave Tin Soldier.
Jimbo Gladwell, Top Line Sales: “He prepped really good. He's got great action and plenty of speed. The one thing this sire seems to be throwing is good-moving, efficient horses, and that tends to bode well for their soundness down the road. Hopefully that's something where these horses will go on and keep running,”
