PASSPORT OVERVIEW As the youngest half-sister to the dominant and spectacular RUSHING FALL, QUEEN ELI represents a young and exciting addition to any broodmare band. In foal to MORE THAN READY's dual-surface Grade 1 winning son CATHOLIC BOY, QUEEN ELI is offered in foal on a very similar cross to her 6x Grade 1 winning sister. This year, RUSHING FALL joined the likes of Champions LADY ELI and BEHOLDER as the only mares to win Grade 1s at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5. In foal to CATHOLIC BOY QUEEN ELI HIP CANDY RIDE (ARG) – AUTUMNAL, BY FORESTRY 99 BARN 5 Selling Monday, November 9th RUSHING FALL: A QUEEN OF THE TURF Crossing the wire first in 11 of her 14 lifetime starts, the sensational RUSHING FALL- QUEEN ELI's half-sister- has recorded 10 lifetime Graded Stakes wins, 6 Grade 1 wins and over $2,500,000 in earnings. She is one of the most DOMINANT forces in the loaded filly/mare turf division and seems to be getting better with age. Not only did she score back- to-back editions of the G1 Jenny Wiley in course-record time, but she also achieved the rare distinction of winning a Grade 1 at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5. RUSHING FALL: A QUEEN OF THE TURF Earning Grade 1 wins at ages 2, 3, 4, and 5 is no easy task. Only two other mares have accomplished the feat since the start of the Graded Stakes era (since 1976)- Champions BEHOLDER and LADY ELI. RUSHING FALL is a true queen of the turf and is well on her way to running herself right in to the hall of fame. IN FOAL TO CATHOLIC BOY QUEEN ELI is offered in foal on 1 cover (FEB-19) to the dual-surface, multiple Grade 1 winning CATHOLIC BOY (More Than Ready). Her resulting foal is bred on a similar cross to Rushing Fall. By the internationally successful sire MORE THAN READY out of the BERNARDINI mare Song of Bernadette, CATHOLIC BOY boasts an extremely versatile pedigree, evidenced by his Grade 1 wins in the G1 Belmont Derby (turf) and G1 Travers Stakes (dirt) during his sophomore year. He joins 2x HOTY California Chrome and the legendary Secretariat as the only 3-year-old colts to capture Grade 1 events on both surfaces. "He's so good the others didn't even have a PRAYER!" -Larry Collmus on Catholic Boy winning the G1 Travers FUTURE FAMILY UPDATES QUEEN ELI is a young broodmare carrying her first foal (1 cover; FEB-19) by the multiple Grade 1 winning CATHOLIC BOY. While she was never able to realize her full potential as a racehorse due to a severe case of pneumonia as a juvenile, her future as a producer is bright. The unraced Homecoming Dance (Vindication) is already the dam of 2 Black Type/Graded Black Type performers in her first 5 foals. Her 2018 Paynter filly sold for $210,000 at this year's OBS Spring Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale to Kenny McPeek and she foaled a colt by GOOD MAGIC this year. The only other half-sister under the 1st dam is SW/G3P Milam (Street Sense). Milam's first foal, a colt by Pioneerof the Nile, sold for $400,000 at the 2019 Keeneland September sale and her filly by Curlin sold for $250,000 to White Birch Farm, Inc in 2020. She has a QUALITY ROAD colt on the ground and is currently in foal to Triple Crown winner JUSTIFY. PASSPORT LOOKING AHEAD As the youngest half-sister to five-time Grade 1 winner RUSHING FALL, Queen Eli looks to provide breeders entry into an extremely active family of producers both on the track and in the sales ring.
