Discreetly Mine to Uruguay's Haras Lacala

Discreetly Mine, sire of last year's Juvenile Dirt Sprint Stakes winner Sheikh of Sheikhs, has been sold to stand at Norman Fox's Haras Lacala in Uruguay. The deal was brokered by Chad Schumer of Schumer Bloodstock in association with Diego Mitagstein of Perhaps Bloodstock and Pablo Núñez.

Winner of five of 13 starts and approximately $800,000 in earnings, the son of Mineshaft   capped his career for Todd Pletcher with a victory in the 2010 King's Bishop Stakes (gr. I) at Saratoga Race Course. He was also successful in the Amsterdam Stakes (gr. II), Risen Star Stakes (gr. II), and Jersey Shore Stakes (gr. III), and ran second in the 2009 Champagne Stakes (gr. I).

Discreetly Mine is the sire of eight black-type performers from three crops of racing age sired during his time at Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky. In addition to Sheikh of Sheikhs, his progeny include multiple stakes winner Control Stake and the grade III-placed Classy Class.

Discreetly Mine was bred by E. Paul Robsham out of the 1995 Alabama Stakes (gr. I) winner Pretty Discreet and is a half brother to grade I winner and Central Kentucky sire Discreet Cat   and the grade I-placed Pretty Wild.

"We're pleased to acquire such a high-class racehorse and half brother brother to successful Kentucky sire Discreet Cat for Mr. Fox's farm," Chad Schumer said. "What a wonderful option for Uruguayan breeders."
