Darby Dan Farm’s Blazing Sevens, a Classic-placed son of Good Magic and winner of the historic Champagne S. (G1) at two, has sired his first reported foals, which include a filly out of the Adios Charlie mare Rye Lane born on Feb. 9 and a colt born on Feb. 11 out of the Ribchester (IRE) mare Championofmyheart (IRE).
The filly, who was bred by Frankfort Park Farm, is out of a full sister to Grade 1 winner and millionaire Patternrecognition, stakes winner Lovesick, and a half-sister to stakes winner Florida Fuego. The filly also hails from the female family of Grade 1 winners Rigoletta and Battle of Midway.
“She’s a lovely filly with a great shape and outlook,” said Kara McDermott, manager Frankfort Park Farm, where the filly was foaled. “We’re delighted with her.”
The colt, who was bred by Healthy Wood Co. Ltd. and born at Darby Dan Farm, descends from the family of Lethal Force (IRE), Champion Older Sprinter in Europe.
“This Blazing Sevens colt is a very good first foal for Championofmyheart,” noted Darby Dan Farm’s Charlie McKinlay. “He has all the right angles. The colt is a great result for our Japanese clients.”
Named a TDN Rising Star as a 2-year-old after a debut victory at Saratoga, Blazing Sevens won the stallion-making Champagne S. (G1) for owner Rodeo Creek Racing and trainer Chad Brown in just his third start. He made a sweeping move on the far turn and won by a commanding 3 ¼ lengths after overcoming a troubled start. At three in the second leg of the Triple Crown, Blazing Sevens was beaten just a head by multiple Grade 1 winner National Treasure in the Preakness S. (G1) at Pimlico.
By leading sire Good Magic, Blazing Sevens is out of the winning Warrior’s Reward mare Trophy Girl, a half-sister to Grade 1 winner King David. Bred in Kentucky by Tracy Farmer, Blazing Sevens was a Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale graduate.
