The first foal of graded stakes-winning millionaire Breaking Lucky  was born Jan. 29 at Blue Star Racing in Scott, La. Bred by 4M Ranch and Blue Star Racing, the colt is out of the Unbridled's Song mare Anea, who has already produced one winner from two starters.

"If there is one word that I can use to describe this colt, it would be strong," said Blue Star Racing owner Dex Comardelle. "He is nicely put together, has all the right angles, has good bone, conformation, and lots of leg! If this first colt is any indication of how the rest of Breaking Lucky's crop will look, it's going to be an exciting year."

Breaking Lucky won Fort Erie's 2015 Prince of Wales Stakes—the second leg of Canada's Triple in his 3-year-old year. In 2016 he won the Seagram Cup Stakes (G3) at Woodbine and went on to place in the Clark Handicap, Whitney Stakes, and Stephen Foster Handicap (all grade 1). In total, Breaking Lucky was on the board in 10 graded stakes and two black-type races, campaigned in two countries, and earned $1,196,376.

"Breaking Lucky had an incredible, quality book of mares in his first year at stud with mares spread across the region," said Comardelle. "It's very special to have his first foal born here at Blue Star Racing—where he began his stallion career."

Hailing from the red-hot sire line of Lookin At Lucky , Breaking Lucky stands for $5,000 at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Ocala, Fla.
