Carl R. Moore's Finley'sluckycharm (Twirling Candy), winner of 11 of her 18 career trips to the post including this year's GI Madison S. at Keeneland, will be offered as a broodmare prospect at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale. She will be consigned by Taylor Made Sales.
A stakes winner and runner-up in the 2016 GI La Brea S., was a treble graded-stakes winner in 2017. Runner-up in her lone turf try to date in the Feb. 13 Mardi Gras S. in New Orleans, the 5-year-old fought on bravely for a nose success in the Madison and added a 2 1/4-length success in Saratoga's GII Honorable Miss H. July 25. Finley'sluckycharm has three runner-up efforts to go with her double-digit wins and earnings of $918,068.
“Finley has taken us to some of the highest levels in racing, and brought so much joy and excitement to our family,” Moore said of the emotional decision to offer the mare at auction. “She's done plenty for us and it's time to let a breeder take the reins.”
Finley'sluckycharm is scheduled to make her final career appearance in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at Churchill Downs, where she is six-for-seven lifetime, her only loss coming in the GI Humana Distaff S. earlier this year over a rain-affected surface.
