Vino Rosso at Spendthrift Farm
A filly born Jan. 5 at Jim and Pam Robinson's Brandywine Farm near Paris, Ky., is the first reported foal by Spendthrift Farm stallion Vino Rosso , the 2019 champion older male and Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner.
"I tell you what, you could not ask for a better foal," said Pam Robinson. "She is just beautiful and very smart. Physically, she is a strong filly with good bone. I cannot say enough positive things about her. In 46 years of breeding, we have never sent three mares to a first-year stallion before, but we did to Vino Rosso last year. I think that tells you how much we think of the stallion, and we are sending a couple back to him this year."
Bred by Brandywine, the chestnut filly is the second foal out of the Malibu Moon mare Shine Time, a half sister to grade 3 winner Royal Mo and the stakes-winning juvenile Tara From the Cape.
Campaigned by Repole Stable and St. Elias Stable, Vino Rosso was undefeated as a 2-year-old before going on to capture the Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets (G2) at 3. The multiple grade 1-winning son of Curlin also won the Gold Cup at Santa Anita Stakes (G1) at 4. He retired with earnings of $4,803,125, making him Curlin's all-time leading earner to date.
Vino Rosso is out of the multiple stakes-producing Street Cry mare Mythical Bride, a half sister to Belmont Stakes (G1) runner-up and grade 2 winner Commissioner and Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) runner-up and grade 3 winner Laugh Track. He stands for $25,000.
