Champion Vino Rosso Represented by First Foal

Spendthrift Farm's Vino Rosso (Curlin–Mythical Bride, by Street Cry {Ire}), the champion older dirt male and winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Classic in 2019, was represented by his first foal Jan. 5 when the 6-year-old mare Shine Time (Malibu Moon) produced a filly at Jim and Pam Robinson's Brandywine Farm in Paris, Kentucky.

“I tell you what, you could not ask for a better foal. She is just beautiful and very smart,” Pam Robinson said. “Physically, she is a strong filly with good bone. I cannot say enough positive things about her. In 46 years of breeding, we have never sent three mares to a first-year stallion before, but we did to Vino Rosso last year. I think that tells you how much we think of the stallion, and we are sending a couple back to him this year.”

Vino Rosso is standing the 2021 breeding season for a fee of $25,000, stands and nurses terms.
