CATCH MY DRIFT PARTNERSHIP COMES TO A CLOSE

With the selling of Catch My Drift at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton November Sale on November 1st, an exciting and rewarding Hidden Brook racing partnership has come to a close.

Hidden Brook first purchased the filly as a yearling at the 2012 Keeneland September Sale for $95,000.

She started off her racing career with 3 wins in her first 4 starts. In her 5th start, she finished 2nd in the G3 Turnback the Alarm Handicap at Belmont Park, closing well in the end and ultimately losing the race by just a half length.

As a four-year-old, Catch My Drift won her first stakes race, finishing first in the Summer Colony Stakes at Saratoga, finishing the 1 1/8-mile race in 1:48.72. She beat the 6/5 favorite Tiz So Sweet by 6 � lengths while earning a 94 Beyer figure and a 7+ Ragozin number.

In the final race of her career, she finished 3rd in the G1 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park.

She finished with a career record of 10-4-2-1 and a bankroll of $280,540. She is by Pioneer of the Nile, out of Drift to the Lead. She was trained by Chad Brown.

On November 1st, Hidden Brook sold her for $400,000 to WinStar Farm.

Hidden Brook would like to thank all of those involved in this partnership, and we wish Catch My Drift the best of luck in her breeding career, and thank her for a very exciting couple of years of racing.
