FINAL FURLONG RACING STABLE OFFERS PRECOCIOUS AND SPEEDY NY BRED FILLY BY FRESHMAN SIRE
BEAU LIAM
OUT OF MULTIPLE WINNER OF OVER $200k
Hire the Hat looks like a very precocious and speedy filly. She is well balanced with great motion. She has all the physical attributes we look for: nicely set back shoulder, deep girth, strong top line and very strong hip. For those that have followed our current string of race horses, Hire the Hat most closely resembles Weekend Rags in her early conformation.
Hire the Hat is from the first crop of Beau Liam, a Stonestreet homebred who has a very similar profile to Macleans Music being a very fast racehorse of Stonestreet that had only a few starts but has been able to pass that speed on to his progeny. Beau Liam won his debut running six furlongs in 1.08.3 earnings himself TDN Rising Star tabs and was notably the fastest recorded 6F maiden in the history of Churchill Downs. Beau Liam ran a 106 Beyer in his second start at Saratoga winning a 7 furlongallowance. He displayed dominance in his third start again at Saratoga running 6.5 furlongs in 1.15 flat winning by 6 and registering a 107 Beyer which was the second highest Beyer for a 3YO that season. Beau Liam finished his season off with a second place finish in the Grade 3 Ack Ack stretching out to a mile.
Hire the Hat is out of the Arch mare, Miss Nancy, who hails from an impressive female family of Grade 1 winner Magnificent Song, sire Great Barrier Reef and multiple graded stakes placed Galileo’s Song. Miss Nancy was a three-time winner of over $200k winning a MSW on debut before running through her allowance conditions. Miss Nancy has three foals of racing age: her first foal, Forward Move, was a $225k yearling purchase who won at Saratoga second time out. She received the winter off and is currently anticipating her first start of the year for Linda Rice. Miss Nancy’s 3YO, Miss Lao, was a $100k 2YO purchase who has earned $38k and notably finished fifth in the $500k NYSS race last December. Her 2YO Tiz the Law filly sold for $100k as a weanling and is breezing for her 2YO debut.
Miss Nancy is now sister two stakes producers. Her half-sister Silk Screen produced Bruno El Terrible who was grade 2 placed in Chile. Miss Nancy’s other half-sister, Richmond Spider, is producer of the 2YO and 3YO stakes winner, Here’s the Spider, who is a four-time winner of $158kand still training on well. Miss Nancy has another half-sister in Ninja Abarrio (by Liam’s Map) who is a five-time winner of $127k and has recently been knocking at the door of an allowance win.
Hire the Hat is currently at Rice Horse in Ocala and we look forward to welcoming her to Saratoga next season.

What’s in the name: while some may think hire the hat could be a witty big dollar gambling term, it is actually an ode to the fashion of European racing. Some European racetracks, like Royal Ascot, require one to wear top hats and morning coats. Unlike in America, where we may rent tuxedos for formal occasions, in England you “hire” your garb and your hat. So when in England and preparing to go racing, you may need to Hire the Hat.
