SEABISCUIT'S CAREER DEBUT
@WheatleyStable's homebred and future Hall of Famer Seabiscuit made his career debut on this day in 1935 at #HialeahPark for trainer James Fitzsimmons, finishing fourth. His first victory came that year on June 26th at Narragansett Park, his 18th start.

On this day in 1966...
"𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗵'𝘀 𝟯𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴"
@NYTimes "MIAMI - Phipps family, three generations strong, attended the opening of Hialeah Park today. It was worthwhile as one of the family horses, Time Tested, won the second half of the Royal Poinciana. Time Tested is owned by Ogden Mills Phipps. His grandmother, Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps, was also on hand to see her #WheatleyStable star, Queen Empress, make a guest appearance at the track in a parade of champions. Ogden Phipps also had a horse in the parade, #Buckpasser, a leading 2-year-old colt of 1965."

"The only way to get a spot in the book of BOLD RULER, who was wholly owned by Wheatley Stable, was to present two mares. Wheatley got one foal; the mares’ owner got the other, and they generally swapped back and forth on picking the preferred foal."

Consigned by @ClaiborneFarm, Phipps Stable’s blue-blooded Candy Ride (Arg) mare Dance Club is in foal to @HillnDaleFarm's Good Magic and will be sold at @KeenelandSales on Wednesday, Nov. 5th.

Dance Club hails from one of the most highly sought-after families in Thoroughbred breeding and racing, a family that includes a Hall of Famer, champions, Breeders’ Cup winners, grade 1 winners, and multiple active sires.  She also has the distinction of being last foal out of Storm Flag Flying who died from complications during the foaling of Dance Club.  #StormFlagFlying followed in the footsteps of her dam #MyFlag and granddam #PersonalEnsign to become the only line of three consecutive generations of #BreedersCup winners.

Trained by Hall of Famer @ClaudeMcGaughey, Dance Club made two career starts, both at the age of two at Saratoga.  In her debut, a five and a half furlong dirt sprint for juvenile fillies, she was checked at the start and recovered, rallying to take show honors behind two future black-type earners.  Those crossing the finish line ahead of her were Justin Phillip filly Lady T N T, who went on to win the Charles Town Oaks (G3), and Into Mischief filly Into Mystic, an eventual three-time stakes winner who started in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint (G1).

Dance Club followed up her debut four weeks later at The Spa by stretching out to seven furlongs.  Despite a clean trip, the distance proved to be too much for her, finishing off the board in a race won by champion Havre de Grace’s Tapit filly Graceful Princess who went on to win the Molly Pitcher Stakes (G3).

The Phipps Stable homebred is a full sister to a graded stakes-placed sire and two producers of graded stakes winners.  She is a full sister to sire Revved Up, runner-up in the Arlington Handicap (G2) who entered stud in 2021 at River Oaks Farms in Oklahoma.  Dance Club is a half-sister to St. Elias Stable’s Street Cry (Ire) mare Playtime, dam of Appalachian Stakes (G2) winner Jouster who sold as a broodmare prospect for $1.5 million at the 2022 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.  Playtime also has a promising 3-year-old colt by Curlin named Classicist who broke his maiden in July at Saratoga and came back to win his first allowance start in September at Aqueduct.  Dance Club is also a half-sister to Smart Strike mare Beat the Drums, dam of Suburban Stakes (G2) winner and Kentucky Derby (G1) runner Dynamic One.

Dance Club is out of Ogden Mills “Dinny” Phipps’s champion 2-year-old filly Storm Flag Flying who won the honor after three consecutive top-level wins, including the Matron Stakes (G1), Frizette Stakes (G1), and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).  She added a fourth elite win in the Personal Ensign Handicap (G1), an extra special victory since it was her granddam’s namesake race. 

Storm Flag Flying is a half-sister to a multiple graded stakes winner, a producer of a multiple group 1 winner, two producers of multiple graded stakes winners, and other black-type earners and producers. 

She is a half-sister to A.P. Indy mare With Flying Colors who earned blacktype with a victory in the Floral Park Heatherten Stakes and is the dam of St. Elias Stable’s Teresa Z, by Smart Strike, winner of the Monmouth Oaks (G3) and Turnback the Alarm Stakes (G3).  With Flying Colors is also the granddam of Team Valor’s Queen Azteca, by Sharp Azteca, this year’s United Arab Emirates Oaks (G3) winner at Meydan.

Her other siblings include Parading, by Pulpit, winner of the Dixie Stakes (G2) and Ben Ali Stakes (G3); grade 2-placed Protesting, by A.P. Indy, dam of Performer, by Speightstown, winner of the Discover Stakes (G3) and Fred W. Hooper Stakes (G3), as well as Breaking the Rules, by War Front, winner of the Tropical Park Derby who also placed in multiple graded stakes; Sound the Trumpets, by Bernardini, dam of Miles D who placed in the Travers Stakes (G1) and won the Discovery Stakes; grade 3-placed On Parade, by Storm Cat, who is granddam of Madras Check, by Malibu Moon, a multiple stakes winner in Japan; and Viva La Flag, by Rahy, dam of Kentucky-bred Manyuz, by Run Away and Hide, a multiple group 1 winner in Peru, and granddam of Brocknardini, by Palace Malice, winner of the Selima Stakes.

Going back another generation, Dance Club’s granddam is Ogden Phipps’s homebred My Flag, the daughter of two Phipps homebred Hall of Famers in her sire Easy Goer and dam Personal Ensign.  My Flag earned her first elite win in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) and added three more prestigious victories to her resume, including the fillies classic Coaching Club American Oaks (G1), Ashland Stakes (G1), and Gazelle Handicap (G1).  She also notably placed against males in the classic Belmont Stakes (G1), finishing behind Editor’s Note and future Hall of Famer Skip Away. 

My Flag is a half-sister to two grade 1-winning sires, a sire of a dual-classic winner, a grade 1 producer, and two granddams of grade 1-winning sires. 

Her half-brothers include trio of sires by Mr. Prospector, including Miner's Mark, winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1), Traditionally, winner of the Oaklawn Handicap (G1), and Our Emblem, a multiple grade 1-placed sire of Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1) winner War Emblem. 

My Flag is also a half-sister to multiple graded stakes-placed Salute, by Unbridled, dam of sire Mr Speaker, winner of the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes (G1) who entered stud in 2016 at @LanesEndFarms and now stands in Texas at Forks of the Paluxy; Title Seeker, by Monarchos, granddam of Charles Fipke’s homebred Seeking The Soul, by @PerfectSoulIRE, winner of the Clark Handicap (G1) and runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) and Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) who entered stud in 2021 at @OcalaStud in Florida; and Possibility, by A.P. Indy, the granddam of @ZedanRacing’s Arabian Lion, by Justify, winner of the Woody Stephens Stakes (G1) who entered stud in 2024 at @SpendthriftFarm.  Possibility is also the granddam of Clearsky Farms-bred Major Dude, by Bolt d’Oro, winner of the Ft. Lauderdale Stakes (G2), Pilgram Stakes (G2), Penn Mile Stakes (G2), and the Kitten’s Joy Stakes (G3).

While some super fillies fail to replicate their racing success as broodmares, such as Zenyatta and Winning Colors, that was not the case for Dance Club’s great-granddam Personal Ensign, as noted above in My Flag and her accomplished siblings.  An undefeated champion from 13 starts, Personal Ensign won eight grade 1 races, and her Hall of Fame career was appropriately capped off with an unforgettable marquee victory over Kentucky Derby winner Winning Colors in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1).

Despite Dance Club being winless from two starts, a lack of success on the track has not prevented dams in her family from becoming successful broodmares.  Such is the case for the above-mentioned Jouster’s dam Playtime, Dynamic One’s dam Beat the Drums, Queen Azteca’s dam Princesa Helena, Miles D’s dam Sound the Trumpets, and Seeking the Soul’s granddam Title Seeker.

As a broodmare, Dance Club has two foals racing age, including I Am On The List, a 4-year-old colt by City of Light, and Rhythm Quest, a 3-year-old filly by Nyquist.  She also has a yearling colt by Tapit and a weanling filly by Essential Quality, both of which have the same female family and sire line as the above-mentioned Comely Stakes (G2) runner-up Parade.  Dance Club is in foal to Good Magic and it will share the same female family and sire line as the above-mentioned Travers Stakes-placed Miles D.

Personal Ensign’s legacy carries on through her successful descendants and Dance Club’s progeny will hopefully continue to bolster it for years to come.

A rare sales purchase for #PhippsStable, FLY SO HIGH was bred in Kentucky by the Goodman family’s @MtBrilliant Farm and acquired from the @LanesEndFarms consignment at the Sept. 2016 @KeenelandSales.

Trained by Hall of Famer #ShugMcGaughey, Fly So High finished third in her October 2017 career debut and came back the following month to impressively break her maiden, winning the one mile dirt race at Aqueduct by 7 ¾ lengths to earn “Rising Star” status from the @TheTDN.

She followed up her maiden win with another eye-catching victory in January 2018, cruising to a 5 ½-length allowance optional claiming victory at Gulfstream Park.

Showing significant promise, she dove into deeper waters for the Davona Dale Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream in March, a race she won commandingly by 3 lengths but was pulled up after the race and vanned off the track. Ultrasound results revealed a small tear in an upper suspensory.

While she would have likely been one of the favorites for the 2018 #KentuckyOaks (G1) or potentially set her sights on the #BreedersCup that year, the injury instead ended her career and she joined the elite Phipps Stable broodmare band.

While an overwhelming majority of Phipps family’s horses have historically been homebreds, Daisy Phipps Pulito spoke about why her family's stable purchased Fly So High, noting that “[e]very few years, my father [Ogden ‘Dinny’ Phipps] and I would like to buy a couple of fillies to introduce some new blood to the broodmare band… I thought it was really important to continue to do that…”

Fly So High was a natural fit for the Phipps family, as she is by Malibu Moon, the same sire of the Phipps family’s 2013 Kentucky Derby winner Orb, and from one of the most attractive female families in the stud book.

Fly So High’s dam Quiet Flight, by Quiet American, is a full sister to grade 2-placed Quiet Dance, producer of Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1)-winning Horse of the Year Saint Liam, by Saint Ballado, and United Nations Stakes (G1) winner Funtastic, by More Than Ready, the latter now standing at @Three_Chimneys Farm.

Quiet Dance is also the granddam of Hall of Famer and another @Three_Chimneys stallion in red-hot sire Gun Runner, by Candy Ride (Arg). She is also the granddam of Mother Goose Stakes (G1) winner Buster’s Ready, by More Than Ready, who was purchased as a broodmare prospect for $2.4 million by Wertheimer et Frère.

The granddam of Fly So High, Misty Dancer, by Lyphard, is a half-sister to Minstrella, by The Minstrel, an Edward P. Evans homebred who won three group 1 races in Europe and was a champion juvenile in Ireland.

The active family’s other recent notable stakes winners include Gun Runner’s half-sister Pretty Anna, by Quality Road, winner of the 2024 Comely Stakes (G3), and Right and True (Ire), by Arizona (Ire), winner of the listed 2024 Star Appeal Stakes in Ireland for the @CoolmoreStud partners.

Fly So High is the dam of three horses of racing age, including sophomore Curlin colt Peak Performer who recently moved forward by finishing on the board in a competitive $170,000 maiden special weight at Kentucky Downs earlier this month. She also has an unraced juvenile colt by #GunRunner and is currently in foal to @WinStarFarm's elite sire Constitution.

On the heels of a wildly successful Saratoga Sale where eight yearlings from Phipps female families averaged more than $1 million, Phipps bloodlines remained hot at Monday’s opening session of the September @KeenelandSales, with two colts and one filly each selling for seven figures.

𝗛𝗶𝗽 𝟭𝟳𝟳 – 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝘂𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘁

The Session 1 sale topper was a Gun Runner colt (Hip 177) from the @HillnDaleFarm consignment who fetched $3.3 million. Co-bred by Hill ‘n’ Dale and @Determined_Stud, the colt was purchased by @CoolmoreStud’s @MVMagnier, @WhiteBirchFarm_ Peter Brant, and Winchell Thoroughbreds. The colt’s second through fifth dams are Phipps, from Blitey branch of foundation mare Lady Pitt.

The Gun Runner colt is out of Tapit mare Thoughtfully, a five-length winner of the 2020 Adirondack Stakes (G2) at Saratoga. From five crops of racing age, Gun Runner has sired six graded stakes winners who are out of Tapit mares, including Peter Blum’s homebred Society, winner of the 2024 Ballerina Handicap (G1).

Thoughtfully is out of Phipps Stable-bred Seeking the Gold mare Pension and is a full sister to Signator who has found success this year since moving to the turf for Hall of Fame trainer #ShugMcGaughey. After winning his turf debut at Tampa in March, the 5-year-old horse earned his first stakes victory in April in the Henry S. Clark Stakes at Laurel. Declared a “Rising Star” by @TheTDN after impressively breaking his maiden at second asking at the age of 2, #PhippsStable is among the horse’s owner partnership that also includes @WestPointTbreds, @WoodfordRacing, @Gainesway, @RealKenLangone, Edward Hudson Jr., and @LanesEndFarms.

Thoughtfully is also a half-sister to @Godolphin’s 2015 Futurity Stakes (G2) winner Annual Report, by Harlan’s Holiday, and multiple stakes winner Giant Payday, by Giant’s Causeway.

The Gun Runner colt’s third dam is Furlough, a grade 1 winner by Easy Goer, and fourth dam is blue hen mare Blitey, a multiple graded stakes winner by Riva Ridge. Blitey is the ancestress of an elite family that includes nine grade 1 winners for the Phippses, including Hall of Famer Heavenly Prize, by Seeking the Gold. Some of Blitey’s other descendants having grade 1 success in recent years include Horse of the Year #Flightline, by Tapit, Instilled Regard, by Arch, and Queen Goddess, by Empire Maker.

𝗛𝗶𝗽 𝟭𝟬 – 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶��� 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹-𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗖𝘂𝗽 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗹

Another colt from a Phipps family to achieve seven figures was Hip 10. Representing the first crop of Flightline, the colt was purchased by @ResRacingKy's @JStewartrr for $1.5 million from the consignment of @VanMeterSales. The colt is a half-brother to dual #BreedersCup-winning sire Golden Pal, by Uncle Mo, who is out Midshipman mare Lady Shipman, winner of the 2016 Royal North Stakes (G3).

The second dam Sumthingtotalkabt, by Mutakddim, is a California-bred half-sister to stakes winner Rules of War, by Cromwell, and the third dam is California-bred multiple stakes winner Nannetta, by Falstaff. The damline traces back to the Striking branch of Phipps foundation mare Baby League and the extended family includes #OgdenPhipps-bred Landscaper, by Herbager, winner of the 1978 Century Handicap (G1).

𝗛𝗶𝗽 𝟭𝟭𝟱 – 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱-𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀’ 𝗖𝘂𝗽 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

In addition to the two colts, a filly from a Phipps family that sold for seven figures was Hip 115. By Tapit, the filly was purchased by @Whisper_Hill Farm for $1.5 million from the consignment of @Gainesway. The dam is @EclipseTBP and @Gainesway’s 2019 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) winner Sharing, by Speightstown, and her second dam is @SagamoreRacing’s @BreedersCup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) winner Shared Account, by Pleasantly Perfect.

The Tapit filly has the rare opportunity to potentially become a third-generation #BreedersCup winner, a feat accomplished on only one prior occasion by Phipps homebreds #PersonalEnsign, her daughter #MyFlag, and her granddaughter #StormFlagFlying.

The yearling filly’s damline traces back to the Bold Irish branch of Phipps foundation mare Erin and the extended family includes grade 1 winners Randomized, by Nyquist, Got Stormy, by Get Stormy, and New Years Day, by Street Cry (IRE), among others.

In addition to their session-topping $3.3 million Gun Runner colt, like many top owners and breeders, the @CoolmoreAmerica connections and @WhiteBirchFarm_ have shown an affinity for Phipps bloodlines. Their new acquisition came just a month after they teamed up for the $4.1 million @FasigTiptonCo Saratoga Sale-topping Into Mischief colt (Hip 218) whose second through fourth dams are Phipps, from Versailles Treaty branch of Ten Cents A Dance. They also went to $1.3 million at last year’s Keeneland September sale for a Curlin colt (Hip 262) who is a half to the Gun Runner colt they purchased on Monday.

Following the Saratoga Sale, #PeterBrant highlighted his and the Coolmore team’s affinity for Phipps female families, noting that the Into Mischief colt’s damline “[g]oes back to great old Phipps blood we really like.”

𝗛𝗶𝗽 𝟲𝟲𝟰 – 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝘀-𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆

Another opportunity for a well-bred yearling with Phipps bloodlines will be offered in Session 3 of the @Keeneland Sale on Wednesday with Hip 664, a ninth-generation Phipps-bred by Maxfield out of War Front mare Cover Model. Hailing from the Get Lucky branch of Phipps foundation mare Baby League, he is from one of the most sought-after families in the stud book.

Consigned by @LanesEndFarms, the colt is rated an “A” by @TrueNicks and is from the same immediate family as Saturday’s @WinStarFarm-bred $2 million Ladies Marathon Invitational Stakes (G3) winner Stellify, by Justify.

The dam is a half-sister to Imagining, by Giant’s Causeway, a millionaire who won the Man o’ War Stakes (G1) and placed in four other grade 1 races. The dam is also a half-sister to Forestry mare Snooze, the granddam of @RepoleStable's 2022 Frizette Stakes (G1) winner Chocolate Gelato, by Practical Joke, and stakes-placed Browse, by Medaglia d’Oro, the dam of Gage Hill Stables and @WSFarish-bred 2023 Victoria Stakes winner Pipit, by Quality Road.

The colt’s second dam is A.P. Indy mare Daydreaming, a multiple graded stakes winner who is a full sister to @Godolphin’s Girolamo, winner of the Vosburgh Stakes (G1), and #DinnyPhipps’s homebred Accelerator, winner of the Pilgrim Stakes (G3). Daydreaming is also full sister to Supercharger, producer of @KentuckyDerby (G1) winner #SuperSaver, and She’s a Winner, the dam of dual classic-placed Bluegrass Cat, by Storm Cat, winner the Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) and runner-up in the @KentuckyDerby (G1), @BelmontStakes (G1), and #TraversStakes (G1). Daydreaming’s third sibling who is a grade 1-producer is Deputy Minister mare Malka, the dam of Got Lucky, by A.P. Indy, winner of the Spinster Stakes (G1).

The yearling's third dam is Mr. Prospector mare Get Lucky, winner of the Affectionately Handicap (G3). Out of Beldame Stakes (G1) winner Dance Number, by Northern Dancer, Get Lucky is a full sibling to champion Rhythm, winner of the @BreedersCup Juvenile (G1) and Travers Stakes (G1).

Based on the wild success of Phipps bloodlines at the Saratoga Sale in August and the first day of the Keeneland September Sale on Monday, one can expect more yearlings from Phipps families to fetch impressive prices over the remaining two weeks in Lexington and to achieve success for years to come on the race tracks across the nation.
