The Grade 1 winning PRINCE OF MONACO was in high demand with breeders this year when breeding a Claiborne-record of 176 mares and those who missed out on getting into his book will have a chance to have a foal by the stallion with two mares carrying his foals on offer at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale.
The stakes winning Sassy Beast comes into the ring as Hip 142 carrying her second foal on a March 17 cover. She was a strong racemare with eight wins and 10 other top three finishes for $297,110 in earnings. That record includes placings in every stakes she contested with only two off-the-board finishes in her 20-race career.
By The Big Beast, Sassy Beast is one of five stakes performers out of the stakes placed I’mclassyandsassy, whose best runner is the Grade 3 winner and Grade 2-placed Obliteration, who was second in the Indian Summer S. after the catalog was released. Sassy Beast is also a full sister to stakes winner Pure Class, who finished third in the Benny the Bull H. after the catalog was released, and Grade 3-placed Big and Classy.
Her second dam is the Relaunche mare Launch Site, whose nine winners include stakes winner Fairway Road and the stakes placed duo of Vigilant Site and Launch Commander.
