Blake-Albina to consign Eclipse Champion Caledonia Road at Fasig-Tipton November Sale
Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services Press Release
Caledonia Road, reigning Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly, will be offered at this year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale by Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services, agent. Blake-Albina will consign the champion filly as a racing/broodmare prospect on behalf of owners Zoom and Fish Stable, Charlie Spiring, and Newtown Anner Stud.
A 3-year-old daughter of leading sire Quality Road out of the Dixie Union mare Come A Callin, Caledonia Road captured last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) in authoritative fashion in just her third career start.
A winner of three of five lifetime starts, she won her debut as a 2-year-old at Saratoga Race Course by nearly three lengths going seven furlongs. She immediately tackled grade 1 company in her next start, finishing a game second in the Frizette Stakes when stretching out to a mile.
Regally bred, Caledonia Road descends from a prolific Janney female family that includes grade 1 winners Hymn Book and Data Link .
"It is very rare that a filly with Caledonia Road's credentials comes to public auction," said consignor Hanzly Albina of Blake-Albina Thoroughbred Services. "She is an Eclipse champion, Breeders' Cup champion, and hails from a classic family. She should have broad appeal to leading racing and breeding programs around the globe."
The Fasig-Tipton November Sale will be held on Sunday, November 4, in Lexington, Kentucky.
"Caledonia Road is a true collector's item," added Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. "We look forward to showcasing her to the world at our November Sale."
