Stakes form is strong throughout this family with champions or Grade 1 winners under each of Accomplished’s first three dams. The mare’s own dam is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Awesome Maria while their dam is a half-sister to Grade 1 winners Discreet Cat and Discreetly Mine.

In all, there are 11 stakes performers named under Grade 1 winner Pretty Discreet with five having Grade 1 form.

A three-quarter sister to stakes winner Subrogate sells as Hip 431 with breeder Brandywine.

The winner of five races overall, Subrogate is by SEIZE THE GREY’s sire Arrogate and leads four winners from five to race out of Goose Lemon Drop. That mare’s only non-winner is a placed runner with the mare having an unraced American Pharoah juvenile colt as well.

Out of the stakes winning Lemon Kiss, Goose Lemon Drop is a half-sister to the Grade 1 winning Lochte and the stakes-placed Inscom among her five winning siblings. Lemon Kiss is one of two stakes winners out of full sister to Horse of the Year Black Tie Affair along her Grade 3 winning full brother Kiss The Kid.

Blandford Stud’s Hip 775 comes from a proven family as a grandson of Grade 1 winner Shadow Cast.

Bred by Garrenross Unlimited Company, Paget Bloodstock, and Baccari Bloodstock, this colt’s Bernardini dam Casting Director has been a strong broodmare. Among the mare’s five winners are stakes winner and Grade 3-placed My Buddy B, Grade 3-placed Movie Moxy, and the stakes placed Nom de Plume. She’s one of two stakes producers out of Shadow Cast alongside the dam of Home Base. Shadow Cast is one of three stakes winners out of her own dam.

Casting Director is the dam of a $200,000 juvenile filly named Mapping, who is placed, and a yearling full sister to Movie Moxie who sold for $625,000 this year.

The filly’s six-time winning half-sister Legend of Lorelei is also a stakes producer as the dam of Legend of Charlie.

There are stakes horses under each of this filly’s first eight dams with her fourth dam being the champion and Grade 1 producer De La Rose.

It’s another bold page to end Book 2 for SEIZE THE GREY when Hip 952 goes through the ring with breeder Gainesway.

The mid-March born colt is out of the successful Mineshaft daughter Money Huntress, who has made quite the impression on the breed.
