Undefeated recent GI Test S. winner Dream Tree (Uncle Mo–Afleet Maggi, by Afleet Alex) will be offered as a racing or broodmare prospect in the Taylor Made consignment at the upcoming Keeneland November Sale.
“We are really excited about running Dream Tree in the Breeders' Cup,” said Tom Ludt, head of U.S. operations for owner Phoenix Thoroughbreds. “She showed her class last month at Saratoga [with her win in the GII Prioress S.], coming off a layoff and just accelerating down the lane like she did.”
He continued, “It is with mixed emotions that we are selling her, but Phoenix has to maintain a focused vision for the fund. We see her as an exceptional filly worth a lot to a long-term breeder, and we have to consider managing the fund, so we thought it was best to sell her this year.”
A debut winner at Santa Anita in October, Dream Tree followed suit with a win in the Desi Arnaz S. at Del Mar a month later and capped off her juvenile campaign with a win in the GI Starlet S. at Los Alamitos Dec. 9. Kicking off this term with a decisive score in the GII Las Virgenes S. in Arcadia Feb. 4, the bay was sidelined for the spring and returned with an ultra-impressive victory in the Prioress at Saratoga Sept. 2.
“Keeneland is pleased to offer Dream Tree, a beautiful filly with exceptional talent who successfully competed at the elite level,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said. “She will be a highly prized addition to a racing stable or broodmare band.”
