MULTIPLE G1 WINNER SCOTTISH LASSIE TO SELL AT FASIG-TIPTON

Taylor Made Sales Agency Press Release

Multiple Grade 1 winner Scottish Lassie has been withdrawn from the Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) and will be sold November 3rd at Fasig-Tipton’s “Night of the Stars” it was announced Oct. 30.

Trainer Jorge Abreu said he was “not 100% satisfied with the way Scottish Lassie was moving this morning, so out of an abundance of caution we’ve decided to scratch her from the race. This filly has a ton of heart, but in fairness to her, we didn’t want to ask her to compete this weekend against the world’s highest level of competition unless she was absolutely 100%.”

In just her second career start, Scottish Lassie broke her maiden in the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes at Belmont at the Big A by an eye-popping 9 lengths, one of the widest margins in the race’s 80-year history.

This year, at 3, she added the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks to her resume, dominating the field by an astounding 15 ½ lengths, the race’s largest margin of victory in nearly 50 years. There, she defeated multiple Grade 1 winner and Champion Immersive, while earning a 99 Beyer Speed Figure and 7 Ragozin, making her one of the fastest two-turn, dirt fillies of her generation.

The only filly in the past 15 years to win both the Frizette (G1) and Coaching Club American Oaks (G1), Scottish Lassie also placed in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes at Saratoga, ahead of Kentucky Oaks (G1) heroine Good Cheer.

Scottish Lassie is from the first crop of exciting young stallion McKinzie, already the sire of multiple Grade 1 winners, including Breeders’ Cup hopefuls Baeza and Chancer McPatrick.

Her dam, Bodebabe, is a winning half-sister to stakes winner Windmill, and to the dam of Crown the Buckeye, a multiple stakes winner at two in 2025. Scottish Lassie’s very active female family also includes Grade 1 winners Visionaire and Tara’s Tango.

Bred in Kentucky by Winchester Farm, Scottish Lassie has earned $735,760 thus far, having won or placed in 5 of 7 career starts for owners Sportsmen Stable, Parkland Thoroughbreds, Photos Finish LLC, Corms Racing Stable and Jorge Abreu.

A two-time Grade 1 winner, by a combined 24 ½ lengths, Scottish Lassie (Hip 226) will be offered as a Racing/Broodmare Prospect in the Fasig-Tipton November Sale with consignor Taylor Made Sales Agency.
