BONITA BIANCA HIP CURLIN X FRIENDLY MICHELLE (ARTAX) 99 BARN 9 Selling Monday, November 4 RACE CAREER OVERVIEW RACE CAREER OVERVIEW

BONITA BIANCA as a durable, Stakes quality mare. Precocious enough to be a dual Stakes winner/G2 placed at 2, she continued to perform at the Stakes level through her 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old campaigns hitting the board in 10 of 16 lifetime Stakes/Graded Stakes level outings.

2-YEAR-OLD SEASON

BONITA BIANCA broke her maiden on debut at Belmont by 2-lengths and went on to win 2 NY-Bred Stakes while finishing 3rd in the G2 Demoiselle. In her two Stakes wins at 2, BONITA BIANCA crushed her rivals by a combined 10 1/2 lengths.

3-YEAR-OLD SEASON

In her return to Stakes company at 3, BONITA BIANCA willingly prevailed by a neck despite a troubled trip in the New York Oaks. Following this effort, she hit the board in 2 more consecutive Stakes.

4-YEAR-OLD SEAON

As a 4yo, BONITA BIANCA showed her versatility and speed to cut back in distance to 6 1/2 furlongs while winning the Union Avenue Stakes at Saratoga . Going wide around the far turn, she earned her career-best 3 1/4 Thoro-Graph.

Perhaps her most impressive victory to date came later that year in the $250,000 Empire Distaff where she earned a career-best 89 Beyer. This win proved that BONITA BIANCA is just as effect routing as she is sprinting, drawing away under a dominant hand ride to win by 6-lengths. DRF PPS

Bonita Bianca offers savvy breeders an attractive access point to this great sire, being a young New York stakes winner from a Grade I winner in the Empire State. The 4-year-old is out of Friendly Michelle, the best racehorse by the outstanding sprinter Artax. Friendly Michelle inherited her sire’s raw speed, winning the GI Prioress S., and she later sold to Stonestreet for $1.15 million.

BONITA BIANCA hails from a family of tough, fast horses. Not only is Valiant Jewel the dam of Friendly Michelle and second dam of Bonita Bianca, she’s the second dam of the GII Golden Rod heroine Kathmanblu and the MSW & MGSP Kathballu.
