Grade 1 winner Finley'sluckycharm will be offered at Fasig-Tipton's The November Sale, her connections announced Sept. 27. She will consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency.
Trained by Bret Calhoun and owned by Carl Moore, Finley'sluckycharm is scheduled to start in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) Nov. 3 at Churchill Downs, a track over which she has won six of seven starts. The 5-year-old daughter of Twirling Candy earned her first top-level win this spring when she captured the April 7 Madison Stakes (G1) at Keeneland.
"Finley has taken us to some of the highest levels in racing and brought so much joy and excitement to our family," Moore said. "She's done plenty for us, and it's time to let a breeder take the reins."
Bred in Kentucky by Lakland Farm out of the Victory Gallop mare Day of Victory, Finley'sluckycharm has been a picture of consistency during her career. Included in her 11 wins from 18 starts are graded triumphs in this year's Honorable Miss Handicap (G2) as well as victories in the 2017 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes (G2), Chicago Handicap (G3), and Winning Colors Stakes (G3).
Finley'sluckycharm has only been worse than second four times in her career and has earnings of $918,068. She was purchased by Moore for $77,000 out of the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where she was consigned by Burleson Farms.
