The first offered by MCKINZIE is Hip 41, a colt offered by A. G. Sales out of Garter.
Bred by Kelly Bownes, the colt is a half-sister to the stakes placed trio of Go for a Stroll, Stormy Day, and Reception among the seven winners out of Garter. By Bernardini, Garter is out of the Grade 1 winning Fire The Groom. That mare also produced champion and Grade 1 winner Stravinsky and stakes winner Moscow Ballet among four stakes performers.
Over nine generations behind Garter have produced stakes performers with those stakes horses including Grade 1 winners Dowsing, Royal and Regal, and Native Street.
Breezing in :9.4 was Hip 142 out of Indy Annestesia consigned by Eddie Woods.
The March-born colt is a half-brother to the stakes-placed Ocean Fury and two other winners from four to race out of his A.P. Indy dam. That mare is out of the Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-placed Two Trail Sioux, who also produced stakes placer and nine-time winner Cheyenne Pass.
All four dams on this page have produced at least one stakes performer with fourth dam Unending Love also the granddam of Grade 1 winner Energia Davos.
“We always liked them at the yearling sales so I was happy to end up with 12,” Woods said of his group of MCKINZIE juveniles earlier in the year. “They are a very good group who have handled everything really well from the beginning. I really like how good their minds are and they are starting to show now that they will be plenty quick.”
Hip 191 out of a three-quarter sister to Grade 2 winner Kantharos breezed in :9.4 for Julie Davies before going through the ring.

Stakes performers aren’t a rare occurrence for this family with Nite In Rome one of three stakes performers from her own dam. Two of her siblings have also produced stakes performers as well. They are two of seven straight generations of mares to produce at least one stakes performer with many of their daughters also producing stakes performers.
Grade 3 winner Sacristy is the dam of Hip 556 offered by Cortez Racing and Sales.

Hip 756 consigned by Cesar Loya Training and Sales breezed in :21.3 during the Under Tack Show to catch the eye. The filly is the second foal out of TAPIT’s stakes-placed Tapped.
Bred by LNJ Foxwoods and Gainesway, she is a granddaughter of Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed Gemswick Park. That mare also produced stakes winner Scotland and the dam of stakes-placed De Regreso.

Named Field Song, Hip 834 saw an update in February when half-brother Post Time won the General George Stakes (G3) followed by the Carter Stakes (G2).

It was the fourth and fifth stakes win for that colt, who has won eight times in nine starts with at least one stakes win each of his three seasons on the track. Field Song’s stakes winning dam Vielsalm has produced three winners from three to race and is one of 12 winners out of Merriweather. Vielsalm is a half-sister to the stakes placed duo of Open the Bank and Fujita.
Just off the page under Field Song’s fourth dam are her third dam’s Grade 1 winning half-sisters Rose’s Cantina and Fancy Naskra with another half-sister producing Grade 1 winner Montreal Red.
The filly was bred in Maryland by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Bowman, Dr. Brooke Bowman, and Milton Higgins III.

Their stakes-placed dam Livermore Leslie’s 11 winners include five stakes performers with Sweet Reason producing stakes winner Diastima and Grade 3 winner Don’t Forget Gil the granddam of stakes winner Whatchatalkinabout.
Julie Davies consigns Hip 974, a filly who sold for $200,000 as a yearling, out of Speightstown mare Bay Harbor and bred by Fred Hertrich III, John Fielding, and Robert Tribbett. The filly earned an update after the catalog came out with her 3-year-old half-sister breaking her maiden in her second start on March 17. That one is the first foal out of Bay Harbor.
Placed on the track herself, Bay Harbor is a half-sister to the Grade 1 winner Grace Adler and Grade 2-placed Virginia Key. They are out of the Grade 3 winning Our Khrysty, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Bullsbay and the stakes winning duo of Vegas No Show and Hidden expression.

Bred by Brent and Beth Harris, the filly out of winning D’Wildcat mare D’Fashion is the half-sister to five winners from five to race, led by multiple stakes winner Strategic Dreams. The mare’s foals also include eight-time winner D’archer and three-time winner Light and Path.
D’Fashion is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner and Grade 1-placed Express Tour and stakes winner Kitty Cat Express. Six of the filly’s first eight dams have produced at least one stakes performer with five of them producing a stakes winner.
