The first reported foal by graded-placed Canadian classic winner Coltimus Prime is a colt born March 7 at Beau Valley Stable near Didsbury, Alberta, according to the farm.
Anthony Bilotta, the owner of Beau Valley, bred the colt out of the Alydeed stakes winner Shanali, who is a daughter of stakes winner and producer Shaniah and a half sister to two stakes producers.
"This colt is very correct, and he is curious and friendly," said Michael Hoffman, manager of Beau Valley where Coltimus Prime stands for CA$2,500.
Coltimus Prime was bred and is owned by Jayson Horner. The 10-year-old stallion is the only active sire son of recently pensioned two-time Santa Anita Handicap (G1) winner Milwaukee Brew.
As a racehorse, Coltimus Prime won or placed in 10 black-type stakes. His biggest wins came in the 2014 Prince of Wales Stakes which he completed in 1:54.58, making it the fastest running in 20 years; the 2017 Clasico Presidente de la Republica, recognized as a grade 1 stakes in Panama; and the Invitational Cup Stakes, which was part of the five-race Clasico Internacional del Caribe program hosted by Gulfstream Park in 2017. He was also second in the 2014 Ontario Derby (G3).
Honored with two Panama titles in 2017 as champion older horse and champion stayer, Coltimus Prime retired with an 8-7-5 record from 38 starts and earned $644,125.
