Multiple Group 1 winner A Case Of You (Ire) (Hot Streak {Ire}–Karjera {Ire}, by Key Of Luck) will enter stud at Drakenstein Stud in South Africa later this year, Sporting Post reported on Thursday. The deal was brokered by Robin Bruss of Northfields Bloodstock.
Bred by Limestone and Tara Studs in Ireland, the Gary Devlin-owned entire claimed the G3 Anglesey S. at two, before going on to take the G3 Lacken S. at three. He progressed that year to run second in the G1 Flying Five S. and later won the G1 Prix de l'Abbaye by a nose in October of 2021. Trying Meydan in March of 2022, he ran second in the G3 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint, and then added the G1 Al Quoz Sprint later that month. Purchased by Australian interests, he traveled Down Under in March of 2023 and raced four more times before retiring with a mark of 22-7-2-3 and $1,427,755.
“A Case Of You represented a great opportunity to get a terrifically fast horse with different bloodlines into South Africa,” Drakenstein said in a statement. “We are excited to stand him and look forward to his career going forward.”
The son of Hot Streak, who is from the family of stakes winner Akanti (Ire) (Key Of Luck) and G3 Prix Gladiateur winner Big Call (Animal Kingdom), is in the process of being syndicated and will stand alongside What A Winter (SAf), One World (SAf), Futura (SAf), Jet Dark (SAf), and Charles Dickens (SAf) for the upcoming breeding season.
