NY Bred Yearling filly by Practical Joke o/o Ruslana by City Zip
We have been trying to purchase a Practical Joke filly for a long time. We absolutely love his offspring and we finally landed a quintessential Practical Joke filly to add to the roster. Our last yearling offering was a Hard Spun filly out of a Practical Joke mare and we spoke about how much we loved the Practical Joke influence in that filly. Practical Joke has been a top 10 North American sire and stood for $100k this year. He stamps his foals with balance, speed and strength. This filly is very short coupled with short cannon bones and a powerful hind leg so she has all the markings of a fast sprinter.
The thesis on this filly is pretty simple. The filly is out of a stake winning mare on synthetic. Ruslana broke her maiden at two on the synthetic at Keeneland and then won a stake sprinting on the synthetic at OBS. Ruslana’s three-year-old, Citori, broke her maiden going 5 furlongs on the turf and then won back going 5 furlongs on the synthetic at Woodbine. Ruslana’s next youngest foal, African Safari, broke her maiden second time out sprinting on the turf. This filly looks to be of similar composition and should appreciate sprinting on the synthetic at Belmont next fall. Ruslana is also by City Zip who Linda Rice conditioned so we thought it made a lot of sense to partner with Linda on this filly.
The breeding cross on this filly has already proven out with an A++ Nick. Of ten foals to race on this cross, 9 are winners and two are graded stake winners including Grade 1 winner Corsia Veloce who won the NatalmaStakes at Woodbine last month and the $1.6 million earner Tejano Twist.
