Multiple graded stakes winner and world record holding turf sprinter Disco Partner recently sired his first foal.
The filly out of the winning Big Drama mare Plenty of Chrome was born at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, where Disco Partner stands for $5,000. Bred by John Graziano Sr. and Patricia Generazio, the filly is the first foal out of the seven-time winner and earner of $76,610.
Disco Partner, a New York-bred son of Disco Rico who raced for his owner and breeder Patricia Generazio, won 11 of 33 starts with six seconds and eight thirds during his six seasons on the racetrack and earned $1,487,560.
Trained by Christophe Clement, Disco Partner won his debut in late October as a 2-year-old and went on to win stakes at ages 4, 5 and 6. His biggest stakes score came in the Grade 3 Jaipur Invitational on the 2017 Belmont Stakes Day undercard, winning the 6-furlong stakes in a world and course record 1:05.67.
Disco Partner also won the 2018 Jaipur, upgraded for that running to a Grade 2 stakes, along with the 2017 and 2018 Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational along with back-to-back thirds in the 2017 and 2018 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.

A short yearling filly out of multiple stakes winner Freudie Anne, a finalist for champion New York-bred honors in 2014, landed a bid of $130,000 Tuesday to become the most expensive New York-bred sold at the two-day Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale in Lexington.
Cherry Knoll Farm purchased the filly, a daughter of Munnings added to the sale in late January and selling as Hip 635[2]. Bred by Fergus Galvin, Marc Detampel, Jayne Johnson and Adrian Wallace – many of the partners who campaigned Freudie Anne – and foaled at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs, the filly was consigned by Hunter Valley Farm, agent.
Freudie Anne earned New York-bred championship consideration during her 2-year-old season, when she won three of four starts including the East View Stakes. The daughter of Freud added another stakes win at 3 in Saratoga Race Course’s Statue of Liberty division of the New York Stallion Series along with three more victories through 2017.
Freudie Anne’s first foal, a colt by Munnings bred by the same partnership, sold for $100,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearling Showcase.

The top-selling New York-bred yearling colt at the sale also went through the ring during Tuesday’s final session. Hip 430[4], a son of former leading New York-based freshman sire Laoban, earned that honor when Chris White landed him for $80,000.
Bred by Southern Equine Stables LLC and foaled at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater, the colt is the third foal out of the Medaglia d’Oro mare E Storm. He’s a half brother to the winning 4-year-old Bodemeister colt Big Royal Lineage and a full brother to the placed Laoban filly Esotica.
Southern Equine also bred E Storm out of their winning Storm Cat mare Surprises Welcomed bought for $3 million at the 2006 Keeneland September yearling sale.
Bluewater Sales, agent, which sold a $55,000 colt by Laoban for Southern Equine Monday, also consigned the Laoban-E Storm colt. E Storm, back in foal to Laoban and consigned as Hip 429[5] by Bluewater, was purchased Tuesday by Brookstone Farm for $20,000.
