14 Hands Winery Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) heroine and champion 2-year-old filly Caledonia Road (Quality Road —Come A Callin, by Dixie Union) will be sidelined for the remainder of 2018.
After finishing off the board for the first time in her career, trainer Ralph Nicks reported she will be turned out for bone bruising.
Owners Zoom and Fish Stable, Charlie Spring, and Newtownanner Stud have announced they will offer Caledonia Road at public auction later this year.
"It will be tough to let her go," said managing partner Luc Paiement. "She was a brilliant 2-year-old with a pedigree to be a much better older filly. She has all the makings of a top broodmare"
Caledonia Road hails from the female family of Stuart Janney III's foundation mare Sunset Service, whose daughters, Vespers and Database, have issued grade 1 winner Hymn Book and grade 1-placed Data Link , respectively.
Said Nick Sallusto of Sallusto and Albina Bloodstock—who also manage Newtownanner Stud and as such will be assisting the ownership group in the sale of Caledonia Road—"She is a one-of-a-kind talent and has international appeal. It is a privilege to be associated with her."
