Multiple grade 1-placed, grade 3 winner Sacred Life sired his first reported foal when a colt out of the Medaglia d'Oro mare Fire Assay was born Feb. 21 at Millford Farm near Midway, Ky.
Blazing Forest Stable, the foal's breeder, bought graded stakes-placed winner Fire Assay during the 2023 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale from Denali Stud. The mare is out of multiple grade 1 winner Jostle, making her a half sister to stakes winners Adirondack King (Lawyer Ron) and Nobrag Justfact (The Factor ). Fire Assay has produced two winners so far, including Shadow Dragon , who was runner-up in last year's Holy Bull Stakes (G3).
Sacred Life's book for this year so far includes nine graded stakes-performing mares, according to War Horse Place, where the 9-year-old son of Siyouni stands.
Raced primarily by Michael Dubb, Madaket Stables, Wonder Stables, and Bethlehem Stables, Sacred Life won or placed in 14 black-type stakes in the United States and France while racing from 2 to 7. He was undefeated in three starts and a group winner at 2 and then acquired by the U.S. partners in 2019. In the U.S. with trainer Chad Brown, he won the Monmouth Stakes (G3T) and Knickerbocker Stakes (G3T) and was third in both the Maker's Mark Mile Stakes (G1T) and Arlington Million Stakes (G1T). He retired with an 8-9-2 record from 27 starts and earned $920,768.
Sacred Life stands for $2,000.
