The first mare scanned in foal to McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds undefeated new sire Showcase (by Uncle Mo) was reported, the farm said via a Friday press release. New Year's Wish, a stakes-placed daughter of New Year's Day trained by Linda Rice, was purchased by McMahon. The chestnut was the last horse selected by Rice's father Clyde before he passed away. Named a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard,' after his 7 1/2 length debut win, Showcase took home the 2024 GII Saratoga Special Stakes. Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher said, “Showcase possessed enormous natural ability paired with an explosive turn of foot. He was our 2-year-old that year, a colt who displayed professionalism, athleticism, and the kind of natural speed that consistently stands out at the highest levels.” McMahon added, “Showcase has taken very well to his new job, having covered 20 mares to date, and is being strongly supported by the syndicate. We could not be more thrilled to stand this outstanding son of Uncle Mo out of a full-sister to Volatile, another Grade I sire with a recent Triple Crown prep winner.” The post First Mare Scanned In Foal To New McMahon Sire Showcase appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
