The first reported foal by Leinster out of Cool O Toole, born at Pleasant Acres Stallions
Pleasant Acres Stallions announced the first reported foal by its grade 1-placed, grade 2 winner Leinster , a filly out of the Treasure Beach daughter Cool O Toole. The filly was bred by the farm's owners Joe and Helen Barbazon.
"Leinster was a great addition to the stallion barn at Pleasant Acres Stallions," said Helen Barbazon. "It's very exciting to see him produce such an exceptional filly in his first crop. We look forward to following this beautiful foal's career."
Leinster began his stallion career at Pleasant Acres Stallions in 2022 and stands for $5,000. He won the Troy Stakes (G3T), defeating multiple graded stakes winners Disco Partner and Pure Sensation while setting his first track record that day—covering 5 1/2 furlongs on the Mellon Turf in 1:00.23. He set another course record at Keeneland, where he went 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:00.86 in the Shakertown Stakes (G2T).
At 5, Leinster won the Woodford Stakes (G2T) after finishing second in the race the previous year and was later third in Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1T), in which he beat multiple grade 1 winner Got Stormy . He ended his racing career by winning the Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint Stakes (G3T).
Out of the Royal Academy champion-producing mare Vassar, Leinster is half brother to two-time Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1) winner Stormy Liberal , the champion turf male of 2018.
