Much has been made about the female side of Chasing Yesterday's family – after all, the Grade 1 winner is half-sister to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. But both sides of the filly's family are outstanding. Chasing Yesterday, who earned her fourth straight stakes victory in Sunday's Sunland Oaks to punch her ticket to the Kentucky Oaks, is by perennial leading sire Tapit, who is off to a flying start in 2019.
The young stallion Bodemeister, already a classic sire, added another unique accomplishment to his growing resume Saturday when two of his daughters finished in a dead heat for the victory in the $75,000 Any Limit Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
Lookin At Lucky, winner of the 2010 Preakness Stakes and an Eclipse Award champion at ages 2 and 3, had a career year as a sire in 2018.
The broodmare Tanca recorded a rarity on Saturday at Laurel Park, with two of her offspring winning $100,000 stakes races in the span of about an hour.
Pioneerof the Nile, sire of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, died unexpectedly on Monday, WinStar Farm has announced. The son of Empire Maker was 13.
Take Charge Lady raced once at Oaklawn Park in 2003, but the mare was a big winner last Saturday at the Hot Springs, Ark., track, as the common thread between the winners of the two divisions of the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes.
The Big Beast, a Grade 1-winning sprinter, may have passed his speed on to his progeny. Several juveniles from his first crop stood out at last week's under-tack preview show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March sale.
Palace Malice's first crop of 2-year-olds now features an $850,000 colt sold at the The Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s March sale who tied for the highest price for a juvenile from this strong freshman sire class, and the fourth-highest price of the sale overall.
The influx of California-based runners rerouted to this weekend's Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn is led by the Bob Baffert-trained duo of champion Game Winner and Grade 1 winner Improbable, both unbeaten. Improbable, last seen winning the Los Alamitos Futurity, represents perhaps the best chance yet for late sire City Zip to record a classic winner.
