Horse overview
A flashy-looking son by Kantharos, this ridgling was sensational in his quarter-mile work of 20 2/5 to share honors for the fastest work at the distance at the second session of the OBS under tack show. Eligible for $4 million stallion bonus.
MyRacehorse and Spendthrift Farm partnered to acquire this full brother to stakes winner, Adventurous Lady, for $575,000 at the second session of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s March Sale of 2-year-olds in training. Seven-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher will train this ridgling.
This son of Kantharos breezed the co-fastest quarter mile of the sale in 20 2/5 and in doing so showed an impressive stride that looks like can go a route of ground beyond what is traditionally accustomed to by his sire’s offspring. Our partner Spend- thrift Farm also had the same assessment during an interview with Thoroughbred Daily News.
“He’s just an absolutely beautiful horse,” said Spendthrift’s farm manager, Ned Toffey. “He had a little more leg than you might typically find on a Kantharos–just a very classy-looking horse. I feel comfortable that he’ll be very fast, but he looks like a horse who may be able to stretch out a little bit as well. We thought he had one of the best breezes that we saw. Kantharos may be a little bit quiet right now, but that doesn’t bother me–we think he’s a very good sire. We’re very happy to have one. Just a very impressive physical–he was our pick of the day.”
