Mastery x Mountain Dove ’20 colt
Undefeated on the track, trainer Bob Baffert considered MASTERY to be “the best 3-year-old in the nation” after his San Felipe Stakes (G2) win. MASTERY was a dominant force, defeating his rivals in four races by a combined margin of nearly 20 lengths. Son of lucrative sire CANDY RIDE (ARG), MASTERY is out of the winning OLD TRIESTE mare Steady Course, who is a half-sister to successful regional sire JUMP START. Not a surprise, there are multiple sires under his immediate female family, including the great MISWAKI. With pedigree and brilliance to spare, MASTERY’s progeny have already made a statement in the sales ring, with yearlings commanding $510k, $475k, etc. and two-year-old’s bringing as much as $240k. Those first-crop juveniles are also now proving their worth on the track, including stakes-placed Favorite as well as winners Maestria, Shes Bout a Mover, and Up Her Sleeve.
This strong colt is just the first foal out of the money-winning mare MOUNTAIN DOVE, who is a half-sister to G1 Champagne and G2 Remsen Stakes-placed Mountain Town, and out of the G2-placed MT. LIVERMORE mare Mountain Bird. This promising young dam also hails from the direct family of BIRDSTONE (champion of the Belmont and Travers Stakes-G1 as well as an accomplished sire) and BIRDTOWN (Kentucky Oaks G1 winner and Graded Stakes producer). Wow!
