Tampa Bay Trainer Christophe Clement sent out Stonestreet Stables' The Right Stuff to a 2 1/2-length score in a one-mile turf test for 3-year-olds Jan. 20 at Tampa Bay Downs.
The Sea The Stars colt was purchased by Ben McElroy from Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for $645,273. Bred by Framont Limited in Great Britain, The Right Stuff is out of the unraced Invincible Spirit mare Sarbacane.
The Right Stuff debuted July 18 at Saratoga Race Course, where he finished fifth in a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight turf race. He then raced at Arlington International Racecourse, finishing third in a one-mile turf test Aug. 7.
Ridden to victory Wednesday by Samy Camacho, The Right Stuff raced in second as the first quarter-mile went in :22.86 but took over the lead just after entering the back stretch. He went on to set easy fractions of :46.54 for the half-mile and then opened up a four-length lead as six furlongs went in 1:10.95. Deferred Taxes cut into his lead through the stretch, but The Right Stuff finished in a final time of 1:36.06 on a firm course.
Horses owned by Stonestreet nominated to the Triple Crown:
Alejandro: Trained by Steven Asmussen. Cazadero: Trained by Steven Asmussen. Clairiere: Trained by Steven Asmussen. Fairchild: Trained by Mark Casse. Pauline's Pearl: Trained by Steven Asmussen. She is a filly.
Fair Grounds Stonestreet Stables' homebred Pauline's Pearl, a daughter of Tapit and grade 1 winner Hot Dixie Chick, took a 1 1/16-mile maiden test for 3-year-old fillies Feb. 12 at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.
Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. rated Pauline's Pearl in midpack of the 10-horse field as a half-mile went in splits of :23.95 and :48.49. Hernandez was patient with his charge around the final turn and then made a rallying move four and then six wide in the stretch. He gave the filly one quick reminder and she pulled clear to win by 3 1/2 lengths. Pauline's Pearl completed the distance in 1:45.86 on a sloppy, sealed track.
Trained by Steve Asmussen, Friday's race was the third start for Pauline's Pearl, who finished fifth in her Dec. 19 debut and then third Jan. 15, both at Fair Grounds.
Aside from being a grade 1 winner, Hot Dixie Chick also produced stakes winner Union Jackson , who placed third in the 2016 Aristides Stakes (G3).
European champion and 'TDN Rising Star' Lady Aurelia returned to the farm where she was bred after Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings went to $7.5 million at the record-breaking 2018 Fasig-Tipton November Sale to buy out racing partner Peter Leidel.
While the daughter of Scat Daddy was barren to Curlin in 2020, she was bred back to the Hill 'n' Dale flagbearer in late March last year and is now expecting her first foal any day. She will then visit champion sire Into Mischief.
“Into Mischief gets horses of all dimensions,” said Stonestreet bloodstock agent John Moynihan. “With any of our mares such as her that are at the elite level of what we have, we just want to give them the absolute best chance we can. With Into Mischief, he gets great colts and great fillies. More importantly, he gets a lot of precociousness and you kind of double down on that with her because she was so early and precocious herself. We're very excited with what this mating can produce.”
The cross has already produced Shadwell's Mutasaabeq (Into Mischief-Downside Scenario, by Scat Daddy), winner of the 2020 GII Bourbon S. and this year's Mucho Macho Man S.
Lady Aurelia captured both the G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot and the G1 Prix Morny as a juvenile for trainer Wesley Ward in 2016. Those accomplishments earned her the title of the first American-based horse to receive a Cartier Award when she was named Europe's champion 2-year-old filly. At three, she won the listed Giant's Causeway S. at Keeneland before returning to Royal Ascot to take the G1 King's Stand S.
From the TDN: MIA MISCHIEF (Into Mischief-Greer Lynn, by Speightstown)
Sale: 2019 Fasig-Tipton November Sale
Purchaser/Owner: Stonestreet Stables
Produce Record: None
2021 Booking: Curlin
Stonestreet Stables went to $2.4 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton November Sale to purchase Grade I winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Mia Mischief.
The daughter of Into Mischief will make her first trip to the breeding shed this year to visit Hill 'n' Dale's leading sire Curlin.
“Curlin works so well with fast mares underneath him,” Stonestreet's John Moynihan said. “Barbara [Banke] bought the mare thinking she would be a great mare for Curlin and so we're going to give the mating several chances.”
Mia Mischief was stakes placed as a juvenile and captured the GII Eight Belles S. at three. She was also runner-up in the GI Test S. as a sophomore. At four, she took the GI Humana Distaff S. along with two other stakes victories before going through the sales ring at Fasig-Tipton.
She returned to the Steve Asmussen barn for a 5-year-old campaign after Stonestreet signed the winning ticket, and the speedy bay won the Carousel S. last year for her new owners. She also ran second in the GI Madison S. at Keeneland's July meet before retiring with earnings of over $1.2 million.
