The first two mares bred to multiple Grade 1 winner SEIZE THE GREY have checked in-foal, Gainesway announced March 3.
Above the Sun (Bernardini – Makin’ Sense, by Street Sense), was a winner at two. Her dam has produced three winners from four to race and is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Tiz Windy, as well as Patch, who placed in the Belmont S. (G1). The family also includes Eclipse Champion 3YO Filly Banshee Breeze. Above the Sun is owned by Three Times A Charm and is boarded at Collier Mathes’ Chesapeake Farm.
Queen of God (Paynter – Chapala, by Meadowlake), a stakes winner and sibling to six winners, is out of a half-sister to three stakes horses, including Grade 3 winner Woods of Windsor. The family also includes the sensational champion and late, great sire Uncle Mo, under the second dam. Queen of God is owned and boarded at Todd & Angela Lewis’s Westbrook Stables.
SEIZE THE GREY broke his maiden at Saratoga as a juvenile, defeating future Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Dornoch. He was then triumphant with a front-running victory in the Pat Day Mile (G2) on the undercard of the Kentucky Derby. From there, SEIZE THE GREY became a dual Grade 1 winner and one of the top three-year-olds of his crop by going wire-to-wire in both the Preakness S. (G1) and the Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He is the highest-earning son of Arrogate.
SEIZE THE GREY stands for $30,000 LFSN at Gainesway.
