Egyptian Bride and Drain the Clock's first foal, a colt born at Machmer Hall Farm
Gainesway announced Jan. 17 the first reported foal by grade 1-winning sprinter Drain the Clock , a colt born at Machmer Hall Farm in Kentucky. The colt is out of the mare Egyptian Bride , a half sister to grade 1-placed Generous Tipper .
"Very pretty boy born of a maiden mare. Good bone and such a sweet expression!" breeders Carrie and Craig Brogden said.
Drain the Clock, a winner in his 2-year-old debut at Gulfstream Park, won four of his first five starts going into his 3-year-old season, culminating with a 6 1/4-length score in the Swale Stakes (G3).
Two starts later, Drain the Clock added another front-running score in the Bay Shore Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct Racetrack before earning his crowning achievement in the Woody Stephens Stakes (G1) at Belmont Park.
In the Woody Stephens, Drain the Clock dueled with eventual champion sprinter Jackie's Warrior and prevailed by a neck. Drain the Clock was the first horse to defeat Jackie's Warrior around one turn.
Drain the Clock, by Maclean's Music out of the Arch mare Manki , retired with seven wins in 15 starts, including three victories in graded stakes races, for earnings of $698,000.
Drain the Clock stands for $10,000 at Gainesway.
