    • In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Indigo Woods at Fair Grounds. Blue Is the Colour Larry Rodgers and Coast Racing's Indigo Woods (Blue Point) prevailed by a half-length and maintained her perfect record in the Allen Black Cat LaCombe Memorial Stakes at Fair Grounds on March 7 (video). A winner of a Churchill maiden in October, the Brendan Walsh trainee was bred by Tinnakill House. The 10th foal out of stakes winner Brushed Gold by GI Belmont Stakes hero Touch Gold, the three-year-old filly was a €35,000 Goffs November weanling turned €90,000 Goffs Orby yearling when sold to Brendan Heeney on behalf of Jamie Lamonica's operation. A half-sister to the stakes-placed Tumbaga (E Dubai), Indigo Woods also has GI Coaching Club American Oaks heroine Wet Paint (Blame) and multiple Grade I winner Nastique (Naskra) in her extended family. Darley stallion Blue Point has 10 winners from 19 runners (53%) in the U.S. and Canada. Indigo Woods is his third stakes winner there, and she joins GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint victor and stallion Big Evs and GIII Goldikova Stakes victress Raqiya. Winning Tampa Debut For Instability Klaravich Stables' Instability graduated at first asking at Tampa Bay Downs for Chad Brown on March 6 (video). The Lope De Vega colt was bred by Bill Crager. Mike Ryan snapped up the son of stakes winner and G3 Anglesey Stakes second Miss Katie Mae (Dark Angel) for 440,000gns out of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1. A half-brother to Listed Violet Stakes runner-up Miss Carol Ann (Kingman), Instability's latest half-sibling is a Blackbeard filly born in 2024. Miss Katie Mae is a half-sister to group winners Summerghand (Lope De Vega) and Eastern Impact (Bahamian Bounty), with the latter also placed in the G1 July Cup. Ballylinch sire Lope De Vega counts 53 winners from 101 to race (52%) in the U.S. His baker's dozen of stakes winners include four at the highest level, with Newspaperofrecord and Aunt Pearl both successful in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Mehmas Filly Leads The Way In Florida Blue Bird Stables' East Jabip (Mehmas) led from pillar to post in her debut and win at Gulfstream on February 26 (video). Bred by Jim Bolger, the daughter of Bandiuc Eile (New Approach) is trained by Brian Lynch. Blue Bird Stables shelled out €36,000 for the chestnut at the Goffs Orby Sale in 2024. The first winner from three to race for her dam who was second in the G2 Debutante Stakes, East Jabip is followed by a Space Blues juvenile filly and a Mehmas full-sister, born last year. Her dam is a half-sister to G1 Melbourne Cup hero Twilight Payment (Teofilo). Tally-Ho's Mehmas has 25 winners from 42 to race (60%) for him in the U.S. His seven stakes winners feature a trio of Grade I winners, with the GI Del Mar Oaks winner Going Global top of the heap. No Doubt At Turfway Wesley Ward sent out No Doubt About It to land a Turfway Park maiden by five lengths when unveiled on March 6 (video). Representing Smart Choice Stable, Brook Smith and Lindy Farms, the three-year-old No Nay Never gelding cost $185,000 as a Keeneland September yearling when purchased by Louis Dubois on behalf of Ward. Bred by Lynch Bages and Lindy Farms, the bay is the sixth winner from six to race for Last Jewel (Invincible Spirit). She has a colt by Little Big Bear born in 2025. The full-brother to Big Cyril (No Nay Never) is kin to G1 Irish Oaks third Princess Highway (Street Cry) and G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner Mad Cool (Dark Angel). Coolmore's No Nay Never has 11 stakes winners, four graded in the U.S., anchored by Meditate, the winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. He has 74 winners from 125 runners (59%) in that jurisdiction. Repeat Winners Off the mark at Gulfstream Park in January, Vasy (Space Blues) returned with a win there for trainer Brendan Walsh on the last day of February (video). The Listed Colonel Liam Stakes was the first black-type victory for the JDT Racing colourbearer. Later on that Gulfstream card, Lion Lake (Dark Angel) scampered home a narrow winner of her stakes debut in the GIII Herecomesthebride Stakes for Emcee Stable and Walsh (video). Bringing up a Walsh hat trick was GI Queen Elizabeth II Stakes heroine Lush Lips (Ten Sovereigns). Owned by Dixiana Farms after her $3.7-million sale at last year's Keeneland November Sale, the four-year-old delivered in the GIII Honey Fox Stakes at Gulfstream (video).
