FINAL FURLONG RACING OFFERS NY BRED 2 YEAR OLD FILLY BY NY SIRED REDESDALE
BEAUTIFUL EFFICIENT MOVER READY TO SHIP TO THE TRACK
Rodeo Star is a rare 2YO in training offering for Final Furlong Racing. She has been training all winter at Rice Horse Farm in Ocala, FL and is ready to ship to the track next month. The Final Furlong farm team has been raising Rodeo Star since she was a weanling and she has developed to our satisfaction and rigid standards to join the racing syndicate.
Rodeo Star has always been a beautifully balanced filly with a lot of leg. She is perfectly correct all around, is very clean legged and gives a very strong soundness impression. Brandon and Ali Rice report Rodeo Star is a beautiful mover under tack, light on her feet and has been encouraging in her initial breezes on the farm. The farm team has been confident this is a filly we want to keep and race given her athleticism, eagerness and attitude.
Rodeo Star is by the NY sire, Redesdale, who is by sire of sires, Speightstown. Redesdale has had relatively small crop sizes, but we have been drawn to a select few Redesdale fillies since they hit the market. Rodeo Star was the best balanced Redesdale we have seen and had the most amount of leg with a very strong top line and we love the benefit of having NY sired NY breds eligible for the lucrative NY Stallion Series races. Redesdale was best known for winning his first three starts going 6 furlongs with 90+ beyer speeds figures and running all three races in under 1.10. So he was a very fast son of Speightstown and apparently clocked the fastest ever 4 furlong time breezing at Keeneland.
From a limited first crop of 40 foals, Redesdale had the second-placefinishers in both the male and female versions of the $500k NYSS Stakes for 2YO’s in 2022 which really caught our attention. From two crops to race, Redesdale has already produced multiple stakes winner, RamblinWreck ($341k), three-time winner and multiple stakes placed Midtown Lights ($299k) who very closely resembles Rodeo Star physically, and four-time winner Ten Cent Town ($186k). In 2022, over 14% of Redesdale’s runners were black typer earners and he followed that up in 2023 with over 9% of his runner earning black type. Normally the top 10 sires in the country produce those type of statistics.
Rodeo Star’s dam, I’m a Bird, broke her maiden going two turns at three and is out of the half sister to Carrbine Special who was a multiple stakes winning NY Bred who earned $368k and was effective from 6 furlongs to 9 furlongs on the dirt. I’m a Bird’s first foal is the 3YO named Uwasnreddi. Uwasnreddi is a full brother to Rodeo Star and has had six breezes with two recent gate drills preparing for his career debut.
Rodeo Star is finishing her training on the farm in Ocala and will ship to New York in May.
