The dam, Simbelation, is a half-sister to the multiple stakes winner Cliff’s Edge and the multiple stakes-placed colt Delago’s Lad. While Simbelation hasn’t had any of her offspring race yet, her pedigree speaks volumes of potential. Her second foal, sired by Magnus, stands as a testament to this potential. This imposing individual was sold for $300,000 to a Hong Kong interest last year and is slated for resale at the international sale in Hong Kong this coming June.

The sire, Vino Rosso, is a prominent figure in the world of thoroughbred racing. As of 2023, he ranks as a top 4 freshman 2-year-old sire in Kentucky. His career is marked by multiple Group 1 victories, an Eclipse Champion title, and the honour of being the highest prize money earner for his legendary sire, Curlin. Vino Rosso is often regarded as the son who most closely resembles Curlin in looks, quality, style, and type. His racing career was distinguished, winning major races at ages 2 and 3, but it was at 4 years old when he truly shone, clinching the Eclipse Award for 2019 Champion Older Dirt Male. This crowning achievement was highlighted by his dominant 4-length victory in the $6,000,000 Group 1 Breeders’ Cup Classic, where he bested 9 Group 1 winners.
