Meet FOUR EXCEPTIONAL FILLIES presented for partnership by Thorostock – one of the industry’s premiere independent bloodstock agencies.

“Leofric is a Grade 1 winning son of the prolific sire Candy Ride, standing his first season at stud. We found this beautiful filly off the beaten path in the Maryland Fasig Tipton Yearling Sale. She is out of a Wildcat Heir mare, who is a son of Forest Wildcat. Her catlike walk and looks won us over immediately. After a second look our only hope was that she would fall into our budget. She has tons of leg and scope and looks unlimited. She is a sure-fire fast filly. The cherry on top is that she is a New York bred and will be running for huge money this summer at Saratoga.” – Nick Sallusto

“Trevor Denman said it best “The Great Mitole”, an extremely light and elegant individual. She is built to fly. Mitole himself was a Breeders Cup Sprint Champion and a Met Mile winner. She is from his first crop and we thought we should buy in based on how good-looking his first crop of yearlings are. Her mother, out of the extremely precocious sire line of City Zip, herself is a Graded Stales performer earning $295,823 on track, she is already a stakes producing mare. We expect that she will also be a very early type. She is handling her training extraordinarily well both physically and mentally.” – Nick Sallusto

SIRE
Mitole (Eskendereya / Indian Miss, by Indian Charlie) – the 2019 Eclipse Champion Sprinter – won the G1 Met Mile, G1 Churchill Downs S., and G1 Forego. Mitole won the $2,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Santa Anita in 1:09 flat, while defeated G1 winners Shancelot, Whitmore, Firenze Fire, Hog Creek Hustle, Catalina Cruiser, and Matera Sky. Never outside the board during his entire racing career, Mitole earned more than $3.1 million. He is half-brother to the Leading 3-Year-Old of 2021, Hot Rod Charlie. Their 1st dam, Indian Miss (Indian Charlie / Glacken’s Gal, by Smoke Glacken) – is half-sister to GSW Live Lively (by Medaglia d’Oro).

“Runhappy is emerging as a very good one turn sire. Most recently, he has produced two top-tier Graded Stakes fillies in Joyful Cadence and Happy Soul running a respective 2nd and 3rd in the prestigious Thoroughbred Club of America at Keeneland. Stormy Atlantic on the bottom side of her pedigree adds juvenile precocity. With a full sister that’s already a winner and a family going back to the great race mare, Northernette, who was champion two- and three-year-old as well as a full sister to the great champion Storm Bird. She is training forwardly, and her athleticism is on display daily. She has a mind to match her abilities. This classy filly looks to have a bright future.” – Nick Sallusto

SIRE
Runhappy (Super Saver / Bella Jolie, by Broken Vow) was the 2015 Eclipse Award Champion Sprinter. Breaking his maiden in his first attempt, he went on to win the G1 NYRA.com King’s Bishop Stakes, G1 TwinSpires Breeders’ Cup Sprint, G1 Malibu Stakes, and G3 Stoll Keenon Ogden Phoenix Stakes. In 2015 he averaged nearly $210,000 per start with an overall of $149,625 per start during his entire career. In total, Runhappy finished with $1.5 million.

“This two-year-old filly is by Palace Malice, who needs no introduction – a winner at 2 going 5 furlongs and a Belmont Stakes winner at 3 – and who has already sired a Juvenile Turf Champion in Structor, as well as other multiple graded stakes performers. Her dam’s side, Dazzler, by Vindication, screams precocity. Already a multiple stakes producer, Dazzler’s son, Dazzling Gem, was on the Kentucky Derby trail while 3rd in the Louisiana Derby. This filly’s pedigree has extraordinary depth. Her 2nd dam includes the notable Mr. Whitestone, a winner of $463,000 sprinting on the New York circuit. Her 3rd dam, Vivid Imagination, is a graded stake winner and is half-sister to Champion filly Serena’s Song. She is advancing very quickly in her training, as her mind appears to be on the competition. We expect this one to be one of our earliest fillies this summer.” – Nick Sallusto
