MR. BESILU A.P. INDY – BALANCE, BY THUNDER GULCH

A record-breaking yearling and one of the best bred stallions anywhere!

The impeccably bred MR. BESILU sold for an incredible $4.2 million as a Keeneland yearling in 2010 to set the highest price there since 2006 and the highest price ever for a son of the great A.P. INDY (sire of stallions BERNARDINI, MALIBU MOON, CONGRATS and MINESHAFT).

His dam, the three-time Grade 1 winner and millionaire BALANCE, is a half sister to the incomparable Horse of the Year ZENYATTA, a winner of 19 of 20 starts with earnings of more than $7.3 million.

MR. BESILU is already the sire of three stakes horses from seven starters (43%), including She B Glamorous, a maiden special weight winner in her debut who then added an allowance win and a third in the $100,000 Minnesota Oaks to push her earnings to $66,200.
