Central Banker’s first foal, a filly, was born Monday, January 11, 2016 at Chester and Mary Broman’s Chestertown Farm in Chestertown. The filly, bred by Jeffrey Raine & Elisabeth T. Raine, is the first foal out of Marketable Miss, a winning daughter of Noonmark also bred by the Raines.

Central Banker, a Grade 2 winner of $598,786 by leading sire Speightstown, joined the roster of McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds after being purchased for a session-topping $400,000 at last year’s Keeneland’s November Breeding Stock Sale.

A $200,000 Keeneland yearling purchase, Central Banker was bred by WinStar Farm, LLC and campaigned by Klaravich Stables, Inc. and William H. Lawrence. Trained by Albert M. Stall, Jr., he recorded three triple digit Beyers at 3 and 4, including his lifetime best 107 Beyer in his win in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes on Kentucky Derby day 2014. Out of multiple stakes winner Rhum, by Go For Gin, the young stallion is a half-brother to multiple stakes winner Gantry ($822,531) and multiple stakes-placed Song of Pirates.
