Mitole x Sahara Wind ’21 colt
What’s hotter than a first-year sire? Nothing, except when that freshman sire is what Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen called “The fastest horse I ever trained.” MITOLE set a new standard on the racetrack as the only 4-time G1-winning male on dirt in 2019, including the Breeders Cup Sprint-G1, Met Mile-G1, Churchill Downs S.-G1, and the Forego S.-G1 (where he also set a new stakes record), all on his way to earning more than $3 million. No wonder MITOLE was the landslide winner of the 2019 Eclipse Award for Champion Male Sprinter and a Horse of the Year finalist. Now he’s just as hot in the breeding shed: with 438 mares bred in his first two seasons at stud combined, those first foals made him a Top 4 Freshman Sire by Sale Average last fall with 15 six-figure sales, and this summer the yearlings are just as hot with prices such as $350k, $250k, $160k, $140k, $130k, etc. etc.
This promising colt is out of the money-earning A.P. INDY mare SAHARA WIND, a full sister to Graded stakes winner SAHARA HEAT and a half-sister to the likes of BETTER LUCKY (multiple G1 winner and runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint-G1, now a multiple stakes producer); FINAL FRONTIER (stakes winner), and ENRICHMENT, dam of three stakes horses including two Graded stakes winners in PREVALENCE (G3) andESTIHDAAF (G3). To date, SAHARA WIND has produced two solid winners who have each earned well over six figures in earnings, plus she has a CANDY RIDE (ARG) two-year-old colt coming for her who commanded $200k as a yearling last September and is now breezing from the gate at Churchill in preparation for his first start.
Located in Lexington, Ky.
