    • Super Corredora (Gun Runner), a front-running, upset winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, will launch her sophomore campaign in the GIII Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita Feb. 1, according to trainer John Sadler. She returned to the worktab with a three-furlong bullet in :34.60 (1/9) in Arcadia Dec. 12. “She had her little vacation and she's doing really well,” Sadler said. “She had her first work Friday. Right now, the plan calls for her to go in the Las Virgenes and have one more prep, whether it's the (GII) Santa Anita Oaks (Apr. 4) or whatever, then the (GI) Kentucky Oaks (May 1).” Sadler continued, “She stayed with the string here at Santa Anita and took her little time off really well. I think she can step forward at three, she's got that kind of talent. We're excited for next year. She'll probably work a half (mile) this weekend, then progress towards February.” Super Corredora cleared her eight rivals beneath an aggressive ride from Hector Berrios, set a fast pace and made every pole a winning one at odds of 8-1 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar Oct. 31, good for an 84 Beyer Speed Figure. It was 3/4 of a length back to favored GII Oak Leaf S. winner and 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Explora (Blame) in second. Fellow 'Rising Star' Percy's Bar (Upstart), disqualified from first and placed second for causing interference in the GI Darley Alcibiades S., was third. Super Corredora was previously a runaway maiden winner at third asking–her first try around two turns–going a mile at Santa Anita Oct. 11. The bay sprinted in her first two tries at Del Mar, finishing fifth July 19 and second Aug. 9, respectively. The 55th annual Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards will be held on Jan. 22 at The Breakers Palm Beach. “We're excited, we think she earned it,” Sadler said of potential championship honors. “She's undefeated around two turns. We think the best is still in her future.” Super Corredora, a $400,000 Keeneland September yearling graduate, is campaigned in partnership by West Point Thoroughbreds, Spartan Equine Racing, Robert C. Gardiner and Michael W. Olszewski. One of three Breeders' Cup winners for leading young sire Gun Runner, Super Corredora was bred in Kentucky by Woodford Thoroughbreds. She was produced by Super Simple (Super Saver), a winning homebred for Winchell Thoroughbreds and a half-sister to the stakes-winning dam of MGISW Gunite (Gun Runner). Super Simple brought $2.3 million from Summer Wind Equine in foal to Gunite at last month's Keeneland November sale.

    • Instagrand (Into Mischief–Assets of War, by Lawyer Ron), second on the Second-Crop Sire by winners list with 86, has been added to Taylor Made Stallions' “State-Bred Initiative Program,” according to the farm's release on Wednesday. The program, created to support and incentivize regional markets, allows breeders to send approved mares to a stallion at a set stud fee, which will be waived as a complimentary no-guarantee once the resulting foal is reported as being born outside of Kentucky and supporting documentation for state-bred registration is submitted. Instagrand joins Angel of Empire (Classic Empire), Dr. Schivel (Violence), Idol (Curlin), and Tacitus (Tapit) in the “State-Bred Initiative Program.” Campaigned by OXO Equine, Instagrand wired his foes in the 2018 GII Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar by 10 1/4 lengths in just his second lifetime start. Undefeated at two for trainer Chad Brown, Instagrand was named a TDN Rising Star, sponsored by Hagyard after debuting a 10-length maiden special weight winner, blazing five furlongs in :56 flat and stopping the clock just .32 of a second off the Los Alamitos track record. A $1.2 million Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale topper, Instagrand followed up his impressive juvenile season by placing in a pair of key Kentucky Derby preps at three. He placed in the GIII Gotham Stakes and set the pace in the GI Santa Anita Derby in his two-turn debut, finishing just behind GISW Roadster (Quality Road) and defending Champion 2-Year-Old Game Winner (Candy Ride {Arg}). With two crops of racing age, Instagrand is the sire of 12 black-type horses, including stakes winners Sturgeon Moon, winner of the Audubon Oaks and third in the GIII Indiana Oaks; Superwolf, a two-time stakes winner in 2025; SW Kay Cup and 2-year-old stakes winners Sweet Montreal and Gangster Flash. He is also represented by the graded stakes-placed runners Ourdaydreaminggirl, third in the GI Cotillion Stakes and in the GIII Comely Stakes; Gateskeeper, runner-up in the GII Gallant Bob Stakes and 2-year-old Vost, third in the GIII Iroquois Stakes. “The reception of the new program has been incredibly positive and the addition of Instagrand is a very unique opportunity for regional breeders across the country,” said Travis White of Taylor Made Stallions. “Considering his success as a dirt sprint sire so far with horses like Superwolf, Gangster Flash, and Sturgeon Moon, he should work well with regional markets and add another option for breeders to choose from. He will provide significantly more value to the “State-Bred Initiative Program” with his sire line and progeny success in the dirt sprint division.” For more information on Taylor Made's “State-Bred Initiative Program,” or to submit a mare for consideration, contact Brock Martin or Travis White at Taylor Made Stallions at (859) 885-3345. Space in the program is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis with approval.
