Bloodstock agent Mike Ryan was among the earliest fans of the young stallion Maclean’s Music, a scintillating winner of his only start. He purchased a colt from the stallion’s first crop late in the 2015 Keeneland September yearling sale who went on to become 2017 Preakness Stakes winner Cloud Computing. At last week’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale, Ryan continued to endorse the young stallion. He went to $325,000 to acquire a colt by Maclean’s Music during the second and final session of the sale. “I’ve liked Maclean’s Music since the get-go,” Ryan said. “I think he’s a sire that’s gonna continue to rise.” The colt he purchased helped key a strong sale for Maclean’s Music, who stands at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm. The Distorted Humor stallion, who earned an unprecedented debut Beyer Speed Figure of 114, averaged $168,750 from four juveniles sold, also including a $300,000 colt to bloodstock agent Steven Young. :: Get breeding & sales news, Beyer info, and more delivered right to your email! Ryan noted that the colt he purchased, from the consignment of de Meric Sales, as agent, is bred on the same cross as Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing is out of an A.P. Indy mare. The new acquisition, who sold named Better B Gud To Me, is out of a mare by A.P. Indy’s son Mineshaft. Ryan called the Maclean’s Music colt bought by Young “exceptional.” “And we thought this one was the equal to him,” Ryan said of his buy. “The difference is, this one’s a New York-bred. He’s very like Cloud Computing, but maybe not quite as large. Cloud Computing is a very imposing horse, very powerful, very impressive.” In addition to Cloud Computing, Maclean’s Music’s standouts include Grade 3 winner Classic Rock, graded-placed Moves Like Ali and Wicked Lick, and stakes winners Honolulu, Made Me Shiver, Rockshaw, and Swing and Sway.
