We’re excited about this standout filly by Twirling Candy, the #4 leading sire in the nation in 2025, and one of the most consistent sources of top-level runners in the game today. From Grade 1 winners like Concrete Rose, Ag Bullet, and Pinehurst to a deep roster of durable, high-class performers, his progeny continue to deliver at the highest level.

This filly backs it up physically. She posted a 25.1 stride length (above average) with a low-headed, efficient, and game way of going — exactly what you want to see in a forward, athletic 2-year-old. 

On pedigree, she’s out of an Unbridled’s Song mare, one of the most productive broodmare sire influences in the modern era. The cross earns an A+ TrueNicks rating and mirrors the same successful pattern that produced Gift Box, a multiple Grade 1 performer.

She will be trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, whose resume with fillies is as strong as anyone in the sport. His standout runners include champions and Grade 1 winners such as Personal Ensign, Heavenly Prize, and Inside Information. Many of his best horses have been homebreds for the Phipps Stable, but Shug has also shown his prowess at the 2-year-old sales: he picked out Kathleen O. at OBS April a few years ago and she won two Graded stakes and ran well in the Kentucky Oaks. 

We’re big believers in Twirling Candy, having invested in multiple of his progeny over the years, highlighted by graded stakes winner Cugino (also trained by Shug). 

Kentucky-bred and Breeders’ Cup eligible, this filly checks every box: elite physical, top-tier sire power, proven cross, and a Hall of Fame program.

Price includes acquisition, training, veterinary, and insurance expenses until January 1, 2027.
