CATALINA A NEW BRUISER FOR UNION RAGS by Chris McGrath

We still have the possibility, of course, of slow-burning 3-year-olds also coming through just as the wheels come loose on those who toughed out the Triple Crown trail--after the model of the last two GI Travers S. winners, Arrogate (Unbridled's Song) and West Coast (Flatter).

Catalina a New Bruiser for Union Rags cont.

Union Rags | Sarah Andrew His debut crop has already produced three individual Grade I winners, and Catalina Cruiser looks highly eligible to become a fourth. Even as it stands, the addition of Free Drop Billy--his first male Grade I scorer, as a 2-year-old last fall--qualifies Union Rags to join only Galileo (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and Giant's Causeway (Storm Cat), among modern sires, in mustering four elite winners from his first two seasons with runners on the track. No other sire in his intake has so far managed more than one, albeit in doing so Bodemeister (Empire Maker), Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor) and Tapizar (Tapit) have respectively sired winners of the GI Kentucky Derby, GI Preakness S. and GI ; while on some measures they are all being outdone by Creative Cause (Giant's Causeway), class leader for the 2018 campaign to date. Throw champion freshman Dialed In (Mineshaft) into the mix, and you are looking at some pretty outrageous competition when it comes to consolidating early gains. Yet Union Rags, besides his freakish Grade I haul, also remains top of this group by an overall seven GSW and 11 GSH. Catalina Cruiser is admittedly his first black-type winner this year, after a series of near-misses. As such, however, his emergence as "the next big thing" for Hronis Racing offers priceless ballast to steady the ship pending those boosts--in both the quality and quantity of his mares--Union Rags earned by his flying start. His latest foals, for instance, were conceived at a fee hoisted last year to $50,000, when his book expanded from 123 to 160. (In contrast, he only has 86 yearlings to follow through a juvenile crop of 107 for this year.) If Catalina Cruiser--a $370,000 Keeneland September yearling- -represents a timely break for his sire, he is one very well earned by the team at Lane's End.

Catalina a New Bruiser for Union Rags cont. half a century later--regarding Tempo's colt--proved a prophetic one. Despite the strapping build he has passed on (along with a cheerful blaze) to Catalina Cruiser, Union Rags proved far more precocious for Michael Matz in 2011. After romping the GII Saratoga Special by seven lengths, and the GI Champagne by five, he started as the hot favorite for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Though he just failed to reel in Hansen (Tapit) that day, he was able to climax a somewhat mixed sophomore campaign with success in the GI Belmont S. Unfortunately, he was then sidelined by injury. But as a Grade I winner at two and a Classic winner at three, with a flashy physique and monster stride, Union Rags already looked the outstanding heir to his sire Dixie Union--a reliable source of imposing yearlings until his premature loss, aged 13, in 2010. Dixie Union was a GI Norfolk S., GI Haskell S. and GI Malibu S. winner whose third dam was half-sister to the matriarch Fall Aspen. But if that gave him an automatic local market, the Union Rags | Lee Thomas sire-line also compounds the European appeal of his son.
