The Breeders’ Cup World Championships return to the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club for the 2024 renewal November 1-2 and among the 212 pre-entries are the trio of New York-breds Scythian, Out on Bail and Mi Bago.
Lawrence Goichman’s homebred Scythian, a daughter of two-time New York-bred Horse of the Year and classic winner Tiz the Law, is among the pre-entries for the $1 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf set for November 1.
Trained by Bill Mott, Scythian won the Grade 2 Miss Grillo Stakes October 6 at Aqueduct in her most recent start. She won a 1 1/16-mile maiden race on the turf – against males – August 30 at Saratoga Race Course.
A second generation homebred for Goichman and the seventh foal out of the Empire Maker mare Dean Henry, Scythian was foaled at Stone Bridge Farm in Gansevoort. The winner of three of 12 starts, including the 2009 Saratoga Dew Stakes at Saratoga, Dean Henry earned $121,287. She’s produced stakes-placed winner Bonita Cat and winner Dancing Dean, and New York-bred winners Emperor’s Cause, Ascender and Somethingtotellyou.
Out on Bail, a son of Tiz the Law, was pre-entered in the $1 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint also on November 1.
Owned by the partnership of Case Chambers, Paradise Farms Corp. and David Staudacher and trained by Mike Maker, Out on Bail won back-to-back starts at Saratoga Race Course this summer including the Skidmore Stakes before back-to-back runner-up finishes in stakes company. He finished second last time out in the Indian Summer Stakes October 6 at Keeneland Race Course.
Bred by Matthew Nestor and foaled at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, Out On Bail is the first winner out of the Street Cry mare Judge Lee. Out On Bail originally sold for $40,000 out of the Summerfield consignment at the 2023 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale. He sold for $110,000 to Case Chambers at this year’s OBS March sale.
A two-time winner in seven starts, Judge Lee is the dam of a yearling full brother to Out On Bail also bred by Nestor.
Mi Bago, winner of the Algonquin Stakes October 5 at Woodbine, was pre-entered in the $1 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf and the $1 million, Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint.
Owned by Gary Barber and trained by Mark Casse, the 2-year-old son of Vekoma didn’t land a spot in the body of either field for November 1 and wound up relegated to the respective also-eligible lists.
Bred by Highclere Inc. and foaled at Waldorf Farm in North Chatham, Mi Bago is the fifth winner produced by the unraced New York-bred Wabanaki. Mi Bago is a half-brother to seven-time winner Lady Macho (by Mucho Macho Man), What Mightavebeen (Freud), Dawnland (Jimmy Creed) and Weyron (Goldencents). A $62,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky February mixed sale in 2023, Mi Bago was a $90,000 RNA later in the year at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale.
Mi Bago was an impressive maiden winner August 1 at Colonial Downs before being sold privately by CM Thoroughbreds to Barber, who moved him to Casse’s barn. Mi Bago was a non-threatening sixth in the Funny Cide Stakes on Saratoga Showcase Day at Saratoga Race Course August 25.
