00:00Eclipse champion sprinter, Mattoli, has been a smashing hit with breeders in his first
00:07few years at stud, breeding over 200 mares in each of his three years at Spendthrift
00:11Farm.
00:13This year, the four-time grade one winner will send his first crop of yearlings through
00:16the auction ring.
00:19I think with Mattoli, the biggest thing with him was just how fast he was, you know.
00:23I mean, Steve even said, you know, this is the fastest horse, you know, in the world.
00:27And you know, he was just, you know, the mighty Mattoli.
00:33He was just hard to beat at any distance.
00:35And you know, we just feel like that's what breeders, you know, have gravitated toward
00:41is speed.
00:42Jose Ortiz begging Chancellor for another 16th, but here's Mattoli, and the best sprinter
00:43in the world has won the Breeders' Cup sprint.
00:53He's bred over 200 mares every year that he's been here.
00:57And you know, this is a tough year here in, you know, in year three for most stallions.
01:01And you know, I think we're going to breed somewhere around 205 mares to him this year.
01:07When he arrived, he's like a lot of these guys, you know, they just fill out and mature
01:11after they've been here and bred for a year.
01:13And he's just become even more beautiful.
01:16Mattoli, with 13 coming to the sale at July sale at Fasig-Tipton, you know, I feel like
01:21it's going to be a great chance to be able to show them off.
01:24July is really when you first chance of getting any of the trainers for a chance to see him.
01:30So I'm anxious for these guys that, you know, knew how brilliant he was, get a chance to
01:34be able to get some of the progeny for themselves.
01:39This is our Mattoli called Out of Our Mare Limit.
01:44Limit is by Lon Roe, and she has a great and very deep family.
01:49We like this called physically.
01:50He's very, very nice.
01:52He's very correct.
01:53Has a great mind, lovely walk, and in the paddock, he just moves beautifully.
01:59He's got fabulous low stride, and he's an exciting prospect.
02:05You know, they have great hips on them.
02:07They look like him.
02:08They just look fast.
02:10And you know, I feel like that the two-year-old henhookers all the way to the people going
02:15to the races are going to want to have a Mattoli.
02:17I mean, everybody likes fast.
02:20So, you know, people have loved the way these things look.
02:23They love the way they've sold, and people just keep coming back.
02:28And he's easy on a guy trying to sell seasons because, you know, I don't have to do too
02:33much selling.
02:34People call and, can I get a Mattoli?
02:36You know, I feel like as we go around and do our notes out there, it's going to be a
02:40lot of the same.
02:41It's going to be just looks fast, going to be a horse that, you know, looks like we could
02:45buy, take to a two-year-old sale, could go fast, have a chance to hit a big lick.
02:50Trainers going to the track, you know, saying, hey, this is something, you know, we could
02:54come out, you know, with a two-year-old and mean business from the get-go.
02:59And it's, you know, it's exciting because, you know, Bill and Corinne, you know, they
03:04were active at the sales supporting him.
03:07And, you know, they're going to try to have these things ready to roll as well.
03:10So, exciting times for Mattoli.
