Mating Plans: LC Racing

[Wandering Eyes]

The President of Unified Door and Hardware Group, L C Racing's Glenn Bennett has grown from a regional, Pennsylvania-based breeding program to a band of 20 which now includes the dam of an Eclipse winner.

Bennett, who lives close to Parx and still brings his family to the track for days like the Pennsylvania Derby card and Owner Appreciate Day, often partners with Chuck Zacney's Cash Is King Racing (best known for campaigning MGISW Afleet Alex) along with now-retired trainer Mark Reid who Bennett credits with the genius behind these mating plans.

Together, Bennett and Zacney co-own successful young Spendthrift stallion Maximus Mischief who is heavily-supported in Bennett's 2026 blueprint.

ADORABELLA, 10, Ghostzapper–Alydorable, by Arch. Due to Forte. Will be bred to Not This Time.
L C Racing purchased her for $550,000 from the Fasig-November Sale in 2023 and the dam of newly-crowned Champion Sprinter Book 'em Danno (Bucchero) goes to one of the top stallions in the game in Not This Time. You can't go wrong with him. She nicks really well with him. Her first two foals were MSW Girl Trouble (Fast Anna) and Book'em Danno. Mark Reid, who helps put these breedings together, really liked Not This Time for Adorabella. We're swinging for the fences.

BINSKY, 6, Curlin–Retraceable, by Medaglia d'Oro. Due to Mandaloun. Will be bred to Omaha Beach.
We acquired her at the Fasig-Tipton June Digital Sale last year for $100,000. Mark [Reid] loved this mare and wanted to get her. She's out of a stakes-winning mare and a half to MSW and GII Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Spring third Another Miracle (American Pharoah). Another one of her half-sisters, Le Moine, is the dam of GSW Alpine Princess (Classic Empire). Her first foal is now a 2-year-old Uncle Mo colt. She's in foal to Mandaloun and then she'll go to Omaha Beach.

BLACK MAGIC WOMAN, 9, Uncle Mo–Dazzling Song, by Unbridled's Song. Due to Vekoma. Will be bred to Vekoma.
She's the newest one we just bought (for $450,000 at Keeneland January). She's a half to GI Arkansas Derby winner Magnum Moon (Malibu Moon). She has a Guntie yearling and  Mark loves her match with Vekoma so she's likely to go back to him.

BOUQUET OF GOLD, 11, Medaglia d'Oro–Bouquet Booth, by Flower Alley. Will be bred to Maximus Mischief.
The first of four mares that I'm sending to Maximus this year. She wasn't bred this year just because it got so late last year. She's already produced a two-time stakes winner by him in Mailata along with another stakes filly in Jeanne Marie (Speightster). Mailata's going to the Gotham to try and get on the Derby trail. Plenty of back class in the family with MGISW Riskaverse (Dynaformer), Horse of the Year Havre de Grace (Saint Liam) and MGISW and sire Tonalist (Tapit) under her third dam.

DR B, 8, Liam's Map–Boleyn, by Proud Citizen. Due to Constitution. Will be bred to Life Is Good.
Chuck and I raced this mare and she's a nice one, won the GIII Go For Wand Stakes twice and was also placed in the GII Honorable Miss Handicap twice and the GIII Vagrancy Stakes once. Her dam placed in the GII Demoiselle Stakes and she has two stakes-winning half-siblings. She produced her first foal in 2025, a Flightline colt, and now she's due to Constitution. She'll go to Life Is Good.

Maximus Mischief | Spendthrift Farm

EXPECT WONDERFUL, 12, Tiz Wonderful–Holiday Peace, by Harlan's Holiday. Due to Maximus Mischief. Will be bred to Maximus Mischief.
She's another one that I'm partnered up with Mark on and she's a big-time nick to Maximus. She's already produced GIII Withers Stakes winner Uncle Heavy (Social Inclusion) who also ran fourth in the GI Pennsylvania Derby and MSP Beyondexpectations (Peace and Justice). She has a yearling by Omaha Beach and she's due to Maximus this year too.

FOOLERY, 8, Distorted Humor–Firefly, by Tapit. Due to Medaglia d'Oro. Will be bred to Maximus Mischief.
She's in foal now to Medaglia d'Oro after producing a Maximus Mischief filly in 2025. And she's going back to Maximus. Her dam is a half to the mother of several Group 1 winners (G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks winner Seventh Heaven {Ire} {Galileo [Ire]) and G1 Emaar Middle Park Stakes winner Crusade {Mr. Greeley).

MAINSTAY, 7, Astern (Aus)–Vero Amore, by Mineshaft. Due to City of Light. Will be bred to City of Light.
The half-sister to champion 2-year-old filly and $3.4 million FTKNOV broodmare buy Vequist (Nyquist). She placed in the GIII Schuylerville Stakes and her first foal, a Candy Ride (Arg) colt is now 3-years-old. She also has a Golden Pal 2-year-old and an American Pharoah yearling. She's due to City of Light and she'll go back to him.

NIKKI M P, 6, Into Mischief–Allegheny Angel, by Medaglia d'Oro. Due to Munnings. Will be bred to Epicenter.
This is a mare I partnered with Mark on. She had her first foal last year (a colt by Corniche) and she went to Munnings this year. Her half-sister (Whoa Nellie {Orb}) is a multiple stakes winner and twice placed in graded company and her second dam is a Grade I winner (Awesome Humor).

QUIET VIRTUE, 14, Quiet American–Stage Dream, by Theatrical (Ire). Due to Maximus Mischief. Will be bred to Maximus Mischief.
This was one of Mark's horses that I bought off of him. She already has stakes runner by Maximus in Maximus Meridius who has won over $600,000. And Flyin Hawaiian (Maximus Mischief), who ran in last year's GI Hopeful Stakes, was also from her. So she's another that's going back to Maximus.
