Hall of Fame mare Ashado (Saint Ballado), a two-time Eclipse Award winner, will be on the roster of featured horses for the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame's Foal Patrol Season 3, which will debut online Friday, Dec. 27 at www.foalpatrol.com. The live stream will coincide with a special free kickoff event at the Museum that day, the family- friendly “Foal Patrol Kids!” open house, from 10 a.m. to noon.
Campaigned by Starlight Racing in partnership with Johns Martin and Paul Saylor, Ashado was bred in Kentucky by Aaron and Marie Jones and trained by Todd Pletcher. Racing from 2003 through 2005, Ashado won 12 of 21 starts and earned more than $3.9 million. She captured the 2004 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff en route to Champion 3-Year-Old Filly honors and took home the Champion Older Mare trophy the following year. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014, Ashado was sold at the 2005 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale to Darley Stud, John Ferguson agent, for $9 million, a world record at the time for a broodmare prospect. She resides at Godolphin's Gainsborough Farm near Versailles, Ky. and is in foal to Frosted with an expected foaling date of Feb. 23, 2020.
