WICKED CHARM HIP GHOSTZAPPER X BELVA, BY THEATRICAL 893 BARN 32 Selling Wednesday, November 11th RACE RECORD
WICKED CHARM is a daughter of GHOSTZAPPER out of the Theatrical (IRE) mare, Belva, making her a half-sister to Champion Turf Horse and sire, ENGLISH CHANNEL. Thus far, she has produced three winners from three foals to race, including the G3W/G1P BOBBY’S WICKED ONE.
BOBBY'S WICKED ONE broke his maiden in his debut at Fair Grounds in November of his two-year-old season, beating eventual Champion Mitole by 5 ¼ lengths. He really found his stride at three when cutting back to one turn, earning a 92 Beyer Speed Figure off the six-month layoff at Keeneland. He stepped it up again in his next start, earning a 98 Beyer Speed Figure, when finishing 2nd, beaten a nose in the Steel Valley Sprint beating G2 Woody Stephens winner STILL HAVING FUN.
At four, BOBBY'S WICKED ONE really blossomed, winning three races in a row by a combined 15 lengths, including the G3 Commonwealth, beating graded stakes winners Warrior’s Club, Limousine Liberal, Recruiting Ready, New York Central, Uncontested, Still Having Fun and Runaway Ghost, earning a career best 100 Beyer Speed Figure.
In a career-defining moment, BOBBY'S WICKED ONE turned in a huge effort on Derby Day when running 2nd to Champion sprinter MITOLE in the G1 Churchill Downs, while earning a 99 Beyer Speed Figure, beating G1Ws Promises Fulfilled and Whitmore.

BOBBY'S WICKED ONE ended his 2019 campaign and began his 2020 campaign in much the same way; runaway sprint victories at Fair Grounds, earning 101 and 103 Beyer Speed Figures respectively with his five-year-old season starting with a six- furlong clocking in 1:08 2/5. As Marcus Hersh said: That’s a fast horse!
COVERING SIRE
WICKED CHARM is in-foal to SPEIGHTSTOWN (1 COVER), whose stud fee goes up to $90,000 from $70,000 in 2021. Speightstown continues to show himself as one of the most prominent stallions in the US, with his recent progeny including the extremely impressive NASHVILLE as well as Breeders’ Cup winner SHARING and G1W ECHO TOWN among others. SPEIGHTSTOWN is currently 4th on the General Sire standings above horses like CURIN and CANDY RIDE. However, SPEIGHTSTOWN is leading the General Sire standings along with INTO MISCHIEF, WAR FRONT, MORE THAN READY and VIOLENCE with 3 Grade 1 winners this year and this doesn’t include a horse like the immensely talented NASHVILLE. Speightstown also has 8 Graded Stakes winners this year, ahead of CURLIN and WAR FRONT.
PEDIGREE
WICKED CHARM is a full-sister to Champion Turf Horse, ENGLISH CHANNEL, but her offspring has thus far shown the opposite interest, with Bobby’s Wicked One’s success coming while sprinting on the dirt.
