Multiple Champion Elite Power's first foal born at Norevale Farm
Elite Power's first foal was born on January 16th at Norevale Farm.
With nearly identical marking to his sire, the chestnut colt is out of Havin a Party, a daughter of GSW Chimichurri who sold for $2.1 million dollars as a broodmare. The dam's first foal to race is a winner. The colt's half siblings have sold as yearlings for $575,000 (by Constitution), $325,000 (by Constitution), and $275,000 (by Not This Time).
The dam is a half-sister to the Stakes producing daughters:
LOVING VINDICATION, the dam of Canadian Champion and Kentucky Oaks runner-up Wonder Gadot as well as Grade 1 winner Hard Not To Like.
CHIMAYO, the dam of Grade 1 winner Secret Spice
CLAIRE'S SONG, a multiple Stakes Producer.
"The farm reported to be extremely pleased with the foal. The foal's dam is indicative of the exceptional caliber of mare we have been able to attract to Elite Power's book," commented Garrett O'Rourke, General Manager of Juddmonte US.
Elite Power was a $900,000 yearling purchase who would go on to win the Breeders' Cup Sprint twice as well as being named Eclipse Champion Sprinter twice. By Champion sire Curlin, the 3-time Grade 1 winner posted the fastest Ragozin #: 0" of 2023 and earned $3,775,711 throughout the course of his racing career. He stands for a fee of $50,000 LF.
