Initial Mares In Foal To New Darley Stallions First Mission, Highland Falls

[Wandering Eyes]

The initial mares covered by new stallions First Mission (by Street Sense) and Highland Falls (by Curlin) have reported in foal, Darley said via a press release on Tuesday.

First Mission enters stud as the fastest freshman stallion to retire at $10,000 or less in the past five years after a racing career that was highlighted by a win in the GII Oaklawn Handicap. By sire of sires Street Sense, he is free of A.P. Indy, which is his sire's best cross.

Highland Falls, who took home the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup, is Curlin's only GI-winning son out of a multiple GI-winning mare. The new sire is out of GI Longines Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Round Pond (Awesome Again). Of note, Highland Falls is a half-brother to the dam of fellow Darley stallion Speaker's Corner (Street Sense) and to recent MGSW Knightsbridge (Nyquist).
