First Foals Reported for Breeders’ Cup Mile Winner More Than Looks

[Wandering Eyes]

More Than Looks (More Than Ready–Ladies' Privilege, by Harlan's Holiday), winner of the 2024 GI Breeders' Cup Mile, was represented by his first three foals Saturday, when a colt and a filly arrived in Kentucky and a second colt was born in Florida.

Multiple stakes-winning and multiple graded stakes-placed Eden Prairie (Mizzen Mast) produced a colt, bred by Sampson Racing Stables, at Chesapeake Farm in Kentucky.

“We couldn't be more pleased with this colt. He's a strong, good-looking individual,” said Chesapeake Farm's Collier Mathes. “The dam's success with More Than Ready made the decision to breed to More Than Looks an obvious choice after his Breeders' Cup win. We have big expectations for his future.”

Eden Prairie is the dam of multiple stakes winner and graded-placed Minnesota Ready (More Than Ready).

Also in Kentucky, Clear Voice (Kantharos) produced her first foal, a filly bred by Machmer Hall.

“We are thrilled to bits with this darling, leggy filly by Breeders' Cup Mile Winner More Than Looks,” said Carrie Brogden of Machmer Hall. “She has a beautiful expression and is the epitome of class for a newborn.”

A colt bred by Tag Stables, and out of the Stormy Atlantic mare Spirited Storm, was born at Lambholm South in Florida. Spirited Storm is the dam of the graded-placed Uncaptured Spirit (Uncaptured) and stakes winner Spirited Boss (Street Boss).

“He is a huge colt with lots of personality, but smart,” said Shelly Fournier of Lambholm South.

In addition to his Breeders' Cup victory, More Than Looks won the 2023 GIII Manila Stakes and was second in the 2024 GI Coolmore Turf Mile and GI Fourstardave Handicap.

More Than Looks stands at Lane's End for $10,000.
