Takingtimeoff (Curlin–Gap Year, by Bernardini), a half-sister to Friday's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and certain Eclipse Award winner Immersive (Nyquist), has been added to Monday's Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Offered by Hunter Valley Farm, agent, in foal to Yaupon, the mare is cataloged as hip 318.
The first produce for her dam, a daughter of GI Ballerina Breeders' Cup Stakes winner Dubai Escapade (Awesome Again), Takingtimeoff amassed a record of 1-2-0 from six starts for Godolphin and trainer Mike Stidham and produced a colt by Frosted in 2023 before selling to Sean S. Perl Bloodstock for $20,000 in foal to Midshipman at this year's Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale in February. The mare foaled a filly by the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Mar. 26 and subsequently visited Yaupon.
The Spendthrift sire's first yearlings were warmly received at auction this year, with a colt selling for $900,000 and four other youngsters changing hands for better than $500,000. Like Nyquist, Yaupon is a son of champion and fellow Juvenile winner Uncle Mo.
The Fasig-Tipton November Sale begins Monday, Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. at the auction house's Newtown Paddocks.
