Outwork , an 11-year-old son of Uncle Mo out of grade 1-placed winner Nonna Mia, has been sold and will continue his stud career in Saudi Arabia through a deal brokered by Chad Schumer and confirmed by WinStar Farm, where he stood.
A winner of the 2016 Wood Memorial (G1), Outwork won three of five starts and banked more than $700,000 before he entered stud at WinStar Farm in 2017. He became a top five North American freshman sire in 2020 when his top runners included eventual millionaire Outadore , who won the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Turf Sprint and went on to run third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) at Keeneland.
Outwork also sired grade 1 winners Leave No Trace , who won the 2022 Spinaway Stakes (G1) and was runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), and Brightwork , who won the Spinaway in 2023 along with two other graded stakes.
Out of five crops of racing age, Outwork sired 209 winners to date that include 13 black-type winners and another 17 that placed in black-type stakes.
Repole Stable raced Outwork as a homebred, having also raced his dam Nonna Mia (Empire Maker). The mare also produced Nonna Bella, who is the dam of Fierceness , the 2023 champion 2-year-old colt, multiple grade 1 winner, and contender in this year's Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). Nonna Bella is also the dam of Fierceness' full brother and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) contender Mentee .
