First Foal for GISW Rock Your World

The 2021 GI Santa Anita Derby winner Rock Your World (Candy Ride {Arg}) was represented by his first reported foal Jan. 9 when a filly was born at Diana Shoop's Gemstone Farm in Lexington. The bay lass is the first foal out of her winning dam, Mrs. O'Connell (American Pharoah), and was bred by Mark and Allison Menscer's Post Rock Farm.

“We are thrilled with the filly,” said Mark Menscer. “She looks like Rock Your World. He stamped her out. She has tremendous bone and a lot of substance. We couldn't be happier, especially being the first effort out of the mare.”

Rock Your World stands at Spendthrift Farm, where he will enter his second season in 2023 for $10,000.
