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.
