SAN FERNANDO S. (gr. II ), Santa Anita Park , January 12, 2013 , $150,000 Guaranteed , value of race $151,000 , 4 yo , 1 1/16 miles , 1:42.34 Dirt FT .

Fed Biz, who attracted plenty of attention when selling for $950,000 at the 2010 Keeneland September yearling sale, did the same when he won the San Fernando Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park Jan. 12. The victory was Fed Biz’ first in a graded event and came about 41/2 months after the colt won his other added-money event, the El Cajon Stakes, Aug. 31 at Del Mar.

Fed Biz, who has won four of his eight starts for owner Kaleem Shah, was the fourth-highest-priced yearling at that Keeneland September sale. Shah purchased him from William S. Farish’s Lane’s End, agent.

Bred in Kentucky by Richard Santulli’s Colts Neck Stables, Fed Biz is the second stakes winner out of the stakes-placed Wild Again mare Spunoutacontrol, whose first added-money winner, Spun Silk (by A.P. Indy), won the restricted Ride Sally Stakes at Aqueduct in 2005.

Fed Biz carries the highest TrueNicks rating, an A++. The Giant’s Causeway/Wild Again cross is responsible for three foals, all winners, including stakes winner Abuela, who won the 2011 Ellis Park Turf Stakes.

Giant’s Causeway, who captured his third sires’ title in 2012 with progeny earnings of more than $10.1 million, and his sire, two-time leading sire Storm Cat, have nicked well with members of Fed Biz’ female family descending from Yarn. By Mr. Prospector, Yarn is Fed Biz’ second dam. Grade II winner Tale of the Cat (by Storm Cat), multiple champion Johannesburg (by Storm Cat’s son Hennessy), and Irish group II-placed Grand Admiral (by Giant’s Causeway) descend from Yarn. Both Tale of the Cat and Johannesburg developed into successful sires.

Colts Neck enjoyed a solid year as a breeder in 2012. The outfit was represented by four stakes winners including In Lingerie, whose most important of three graded wins came in the Juddmonte Spinster Stakes (gr. I), and grade II winner Casino Host.

Giant’s Causeway has sired 129 stakes winners, including 26 that were added-money winners in 2012. Giant’s Causeway stands at Ashford Stud near Versailles, Ky. His 2013 fee is $85,000.—D.S.

FRANK E. KILROE MILE S. (gr. I ), Santa Anita Park , March 02, 2013 , $300,000 Guaranteed , value of race $300,750 , 4 yo's & up , 1 mile , 1:32.89 Turf FM .

Suggestive Boy has transitioned well from his native Argentina to sunny California. Most recently, the 5-year-old son of Easing Along notched his first grade I victory in grand fashion and showed a lot of heart when he prevailed by a nose over Silentio in the March 2 Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes (gr. IT) at Santa Anita Park.

Suggestive Boy, who was shipped to the United States from Argentina last year, has now won or placed in four of his seven stateside starts. Owned by Jose Cerrillo and Fernando Fantini’s Pozo de Luna, he came into the Frank E. Kilroe off a 21/2-length score in the Feb. 2 Arcadia Stakes (gr. IIT). He also captured the 2012 Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar and finished second in the Shoemaker Mile Stakes (gr. IT) at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Suggestive Boy journeyed to the U.S. after winning four group I contests in Argentina for trainer Alfredo Gaitan Dassie and the partnership of Pozo de Luna and Haras Cachagua S.A. The bay horse, who was named Argentina’s champion 2-year-old and 3-year-old male, now holds an overall record of 7-2-0 from 13 starts, for earnings of $684,654.

Pozo de Luna had considerable success with another son of Easing Along, Interaction, a four-time Argentine champion (including Horse of the Year), who won four group contests in his native country and placed in three graded stakes in the U.S., including the 2012 Eddie Read Stakes (gr. IT).

Bred by Haras Futuro SRL, Suggestive Boy is out of the unraced Horse Chestnut mare Suffrage, whose second dam, Steel Maiden, is a stakes-winning, grade II-placed daughter of Damascus. The mare is also a half sister to grade I-winning millionaire Private Terms, plus other graded stakes winners Blue Ensign and Light Spirits.

Among Steel Maiden’s most prominent offspring is grade II winner Mesabi Maiden. The daughter of Cox’s Ridge is the granddam of Stuart Janney III and Phipps Stable’s Orb (by Malibu Moon), who is hot on the Triple Crown trail after scoring a victory in the Feb. 23 Besilu Stables Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II).

Suffrage is the dam of two other winning foals, including Chilean-bred, group-placed Suffisant (by Stormy Atlantic). Suffrage’s last known offspring is a 2010 full sister to Suggestive Boy named Subtlety.

Easing Along, bred and raced by the Phipps Stable, is the sire of 25 stakes winners. The 15-year-old son of Storm Cat stands for a private fee at Haras La Quebrada in Argentina.—E.M.
