A May foal, OUTSPOKEN (Violence) debuts for the partnership of Repole Stable and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. The $300,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, bred by Mandy Pope's Whisper Hill Farm, is the latest to make the races out of Melody Lady (Unbridled's Song), the dam of this gray filly's Grade I-winning full-brother Volatile and to Buy Sell Hold (Violence), herself a debut winner who subsequently beat the boys in the Kentucky Juvenile S. Melody Lane was bought back on a bid of $1 million with this foal in utero at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. TJCIS PPs

The Feb. 5 foal is out of a half-sister to SW & GISP Catch My Drift (Pioneerof the Nile), the dam of MGSP Bishops Bay (Uncle Mo) and MSP Strava (Into Mischief).
