Mt. Brilliant Farm's TEE KAY

As a broodmare, Tee Kay, has become heavily sought after, due to the success of her offspring Symboli Kris S, the two time Japanese Horse of the year, and Pisa No Deilani, an up and coming star in Japan.

The eight year old Symboli Kris S, sired by Kris S, had 8 wins in 14 starts from ages 2 to 4 in Japan, where he was a Champion 3-year old colt and Champion older horse. He won the Arima Kinen-47th Grand Prix, Arima Kinen-Grand Prix, Tenno Sho twice, TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho, Kobe Shimbun Hai, finished 2nd in the Tokyo Yushun-Japanese Derby, and 3^rd in the Japan Cup [G1] twice. All of his success has resulted in total earnings of $8,401,282 (US). He is now a promising young sire.

Pisa No Deilani, a 3-year old colt by Fusaichi Pegasus, was sold in 2005 to Yoshimi Ichikawa for $1.7 million. He has been making noise in Japan with 2 wins at age 2, and a 2 wins including the Kangetsukyo Stakes (Kyoto) and 2 placings this year at age 3, also in Japan. His earnings have already reached $526,780 (US).

Along with the accolades afforded to her older offspring, Tee Kay’s most recent foals have garnered a lot of attention. Her 2005 filly, Artic Mist, by Seeking the Gold, was sold in 2006 to John Ferguson, on behalf of Princess Haya, for $1.9 million. This year Tee Kay’s dark bay or brown colt (unnamed), by Fusaichi Pegasus, sold privately for $1.15 million to Hajime Satome.

The success of Tee Kay as a broodmare looks to continue, as she is presently has a weanling filly by Giant’s Causeway. Based on the accomplishments of her offspring, this foal looks to be the next, in what may turn out to continue a long line of successes for Tee Kay.

Frank Calabrese’s Dreaming of Anna, Rahy out of Mt. Brilliant broodmare Justenuffheart, who was given a brief freshener following her 1 1/2-length tally in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs Nov. 4, recorded her third work of the winter over the turf course at the Palm Meadows Training Center Monday morning--breezing a half mile in :47 3/5- -and according to her trainer Wayne Catalano, she is likely to make her next start on the turf. With the ultimate goal slated to be the GI Kentucky Oaks May 4, the chestnut will begin her trek to the Classic with a start on the turf in Gulfstream’s Gaily Gaily S. Feb. 25. “The turf is kinder to a horse and she really likes the turf,” explained Catalano. “We’d like to get two races in her before going to the [GI] Ashland S. [over Keeneland’s Polytrack Apr. 7]. I know the Oaks is on the dirt, but we want to stay on the grass because it’s so much easier on her.” According to Catalano, Dreaming of Anna’s works will be spaced roughly 10 days apart, taking advantage of the Palm Meadows three day-per-week turf schedule.
