Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 14, 2019 Journalists Share Posted November 14, 2019 Four-time champion Beholder (Henny Hughes–Leslie’s Lady, by Tricky Creek) will be bred to Bolt d’Oro (Medaglia d’Oro–Globe Trot, by A.P. Indy) in 2020. Spendthrift’s three-time Breeders’ Cup champion mare was retired to the Lexington nursery in 2013 after accounting for 11 Grade I victories and earning in excess of $6 million on the racetrack. Dual Grade I-winning Bolt d’Oro will stand for $25,000 S&N in 2020. “We strongly considered breeding Beholder to Bolt d’Oro this past season, so it’s a mating we’ve been excited about for some time,” explained Ned Toffey, Spendthrift farm’s general manager. “Frankly, Bolt d’Oro has been so tremendously in-demand that we decided to wait until 2020. One of the coolest things about this mating is it matches two of the fastest Grade I-winning 2-year-olds that racing has seen in the last decade.” Beholder, who is in foal to War Front with a January due date, is already responsible for a yearling colt by Uncle Mo–named Q B One–and a weanling filly by Curlin. Bolt d’Oro, who stood his first season at Spendthrift in 2019, covered 214 mares in his first book.
