Spendthrift Farm Reports First Foal by Known Agenda

Spendthrift Farm's Known Agenda  , the 2021 Florida Derby (G1) winner by Curlin  , sired his first reported foal Jan. 7 when a filly was born at Glendalough Farm in Lexington.

Bred by Phillips Farm, the flashy chestnut filly is out of the Henny Hughes mare Sunandsea, a half sister to multiple graded stakes winner Sailors Sunset .

"We are just overjoyed with this filly," said Joshua Phillips of Phillips Farm. "She's exceptionally well-muscled, has a nice hip and a lot of leg underneath her. Just a physically strong individual like the good Curlin's. We looked at a lot of different stallions for this mare and Known Agenda stamped this filly beautifully." 

On the track, Known Agenda broke his maiden as a 2-year-old before going on to capture his biggest victory in the prestigious Florida Derby by 2 3/4 lengths at Gulfstream Park as a 3-year-old.

An earner of $641,700, Known Agenda became the first Florida Derby winner for his sire Curlin. He is also a grade 1 winner by a grade 1 winner and out of a grade 1 winner, as his dam Byrama  captured the 2013 Vanity Handicap (G1) on the main track at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Known Agenda is set to stand his second season at stud for a fee of $10,000.
