Kentucky Derby pedigree profile: Fulleffort

Fulleffort

Colt by Liam’s Map – Callmethesqueeze, by Awesome Again

Bred in Kentucky by Athens Woods LLC ($425,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga selected yearling purchase by St. Elias Stable and Starlight Racing)

If Fulleffort attempts to follow in the path of others who have exited Turfway Park’s series of 3-year-old stakes on Tapeta to compete well on dirt in the Kentucky Derby, he will have the pedigree to bolster that effort. Both sides of his family have shown ability on dirt and turf, with classy route ability as well. He is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Power Squeeze.

Liam’s Map, by Unbridled’s Song, scored Grade 1 victories in the 2015 Woodward and Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. A half-brother to the very versatile leading sire Not This Time, his offspring also have displayed surface versatility.

Liam’s Map is the sire of Grade 1 Champagne winner and current Derby Watch member Napoleon Solo; additional dirt Grade 1 winners Basin, Burnham Square, Juju’s Map, and Wicked Whisper; and turf Grade 1 winners Colonel Liam and Deterministic. The majority of these runners have scored their major victories at a mile or longer.

Callmethesqueeze displayed versatility during her racing career. She won races from 6 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/16 miles, including three stakes scores at Calder – the Sweettrickydancer at a mile on dirt, the Judy’s Red Shoes at 1 1/16 miles on turf, and the Hollywood Wildcat at 7 1/2 furlongs on turf. She placed in five other stakes, four of those on dirt.

Callmethesqueeze is the dam of five winners from seven starters. They are led by Power Squeeze, who won the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes in 2024, along with graded scores around two turns in the Gulfstream Park Oaks and Delaware Oaks. Callmethesqueeze also is the dam of Call On Mischief, winner of the Mahoning Distaff, a dirt sprint.

Callmethesqueeze, by Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Awesome Again, is out of Mop Squeezer, a three-time stakes winner at 1 1/16 miles on dirt and third in the Grade 3 Sabin. Mop Squeezer also produced the war horse Royal Squeeze, who won 19 of 85 starts, including four minor stakes at up to a mile, and Squeezer’s Palace, a stakes winner at nine furlongs against Ohio-breds.
