Not sure if this is Volatiles first foal but she’s going to be fancy. Out of Jeweled and a few days early. Welcome to the world pretty girl. @Three_Chimneys @Ker_Radcliffe @ScottMallory8 pic.twitter.com/94Ke1CXSYZ

Bred by Torie Gladwell, the chestnut filly is out of the winning Sidney's Candy daughter Jeweled , who boasts more than 20 stakes performers under the first three dams of her pedigree, including Kentucky Oaks (G1) winner Summerly and grade 1-placed, grade 3 winner Darby Shuffle.

"We sold (the filly's) dam, who was drop dead gorgeous, to Bob Baffert as a yearling," said Gladwell. "We were fortunate enough to be able to get her back. The filly has the same qualities as the mare—great looking, well balanced, full of substance, with a ton of class. We couldn't be more delighted."

Volatile, a 6-year-old son of Violence  , won the 2020 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Stakes (G1) and ran the year's fastest Beyer Speed Figure. His eight-length romp in the Aristides Stakes at Churchill Downs, run in 1:07.57, earned him a 112 Beyer. Racing for Three Chimneys and Phoenix Thoroughbred III and trained by Steve Asmussen, Volatile won five of six starts and was second once. He retired with $341,040 in earnings.

Volatile received strong support his first year stud, breeding a 181 mares last year. The stallion stands at Three Chimneys for $15,000.
