Bluegrass Hall’s Oxbow put plenty of distance between himself and his closest pursuer near the end of the Lecomte Stakes (gr. III) at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots Jan. 19. Leading by three lengths at the eighth pole, the 3-year-old Awesome Again colt lengthened his lead to 111/2 lengths over Golden Soul at the finish of the one mile and 70 yards race. The victory came in his first outing since he ended 2012 with a fourth-place finish in the CashCall Futurity (gr. I) at Betfair Hollywood Park Dec. 15. Oxbow’s dam, unraced Tizamazing, is a product of an outstanding pedigree cross between the stallion Cee’s Tizzy and the Seattle Song mare Cee’s Song. Tizamazing is a full sister to Horse of the Year and major sire Tiznow and three other stakes winners including grade II winners Budroyale and Tizdubai. Oxbow is a full brother to older stakes winner Awesome Patriot. The full brothers are closely related to major winner Paynter, who in 2012 won the Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I) and was beaten a neck by Union Rags in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I). Paynter is by Awesome Again out of one of Tizamazing’s full sisters, Tizso, who has produced two other stakes winners. Oxbow is the second stakes winner this year bred by Richard Santulli’s Colts Neck Stables. Fed Biz, a 4-year-old son of Giant’s Causeway, won the San Fernando Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Jan. 12. Brad Kelley, who owns Bluegrass Hall and leases Calumet Farm near Lexington, bought Oxbow in the farm name through Eddie Kane, agent, for $250,000 during the third session of the 2011 Keeneland September yearling sale. Lyn Burleson’s Burleson Farms consigned as agent. Santulli boards Tizamazing at Burleson Farms near Midway, Ky. The mare is in foal to Unbridled’s Song and is booked to Awesome Again’s son, Ghostzapper. Awesome Again has sired 50 stakes winners including Golden Mystery, winner of the Florida Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint Stakes the day of the Lecomte. Awesome Again’s 2012 added-money winners include multiple grade I winner Game On Dude. Awesome Again stands at Frank Stronach’s Adena Springs Farm near Paris, Ky. His 2013 fee is $75,000.—D.S. |
