NY Bred YEARLING Filly by MACLEANS MUSIC o/o HEDY LAMAR by NYQUIST
|
This is our first yearling offering of the season. This filly offers more sire power and pedigree alongside the ideal physical we are always striving to find in our NY Bred fillies. We always say we can easily compare our new purchases to other alumni of the stable since we constantly strive to buy the same type of physical athlete. We compare this Maclean’s Music filly most closely to Weekend Rags, who was a stakes placed, three time winner of $273k. They have the same shape and ruggedness about them but we think this Maclean’s Music yearling has more leg, length and scope so she should be able to stretch out more than Weekend Rags did and that probably comes from the Nyquist mare providing more size on the bottom side of the pedigree. This filly also has a really attractive shoulder and girth and a nice long neck.
We love Maclean’s Music as a sire. He is a very proven and consistent commodity standing for $30k and ranking in the top 20 North American sires. Over time, he has become a sire of sires with the likes of Jackie’s Warrior, Cloud Computing, Complexity and Drain the Clock. Maclean’s Music is the sire of 88 stakes horses and he throws 13% stakes horses to starters.
This filly’s dam, Hedy Lamarr, was a $200k weanling than earned $88k on the track. Hedy Lamarr is the full sister to Koolhaus, a $600k weanling purchase, who was a 4-time allowance winner of $238k. The female family is deep with the likes of Breeder’s Cup winner and multiple Grade 1 winner Lady Eli, who is a producing mare now and Grade 1 winner Goal Oriented, who retired to stud at Spendthrift this year. Goal Oriented garnered a lot of headlines this winter when he retired late in the season, stood for $30k and had his book fill up within days. Now standing at the elite fee of $175k, Nyquist will become a very influential broodmare sire over time.
We think this filly will be a nice fit for the new Belmont Park’s turf and synthetic set ups. This is a deep turf female family with a lot of class which is largely owned by Three Chimney and the Clay Family.
