Bubbler, dam of 2016 champion 3-year-old Arrogate, was confirmed in foal to leading sire Tapit May 26, according to Clearsky Farm manager Barry Robinette.
Eamon Cleary, the late founder of Clearsky Farm near Lexington, acquired the 11-year-old multiple stakes-winning daughter of Distorted Humor —Grechelle, by Deputy Minister, for $170,000 as a broodmare prospect at the 2010 Fasig-Tipton November sale out of the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment. Bubbler finished her racing career May 31 the year she sold to Cleary with a third in the Ouija Board Distaff Handicap (G3) at Lone Star Park. The bay mare won four black-type stakes and retired with six wins in nine starts and earnings of $211,622. Bubbler was the last foal and second stakes winner produced by her dam Grechelle, a grade 3-placed winner and daughter of champion and six-time grade 1 winner Meadow Star.
Bubbler was offered through the 2016 Fasig-Tipton November sale in foal to Into Mischief but was bought back on a final bid of $4.7 million. She has a yearling filly by Giant's Causeway and foaled a filly by Into Mischief March 27.
The cross between Distorted Humor daughters and Tapit has a good track record so far, having produced grade 1 winner Constitution , grade 2-placed winner Capitaine, and black type-placed winner All in Fun from 12 foals of racing age.
