00:00The rumblings started early and only intensified with performances that sent
00:06shockwaves across the nation.
00:15At the center of it all, Epicenter is at the top of the three-year-old class in
00:21the Run Happy Travers. Epicenter, three-year-old champion by not this time.
00:26Coolmore America, home of champions. This week's Coolmore Stallion of the Week is
00:33Epicenter. And Epicenter sells himself if we just show you some of his foals on
00:39the ground. This is a filly out of Seize the Market, bred by Blackridge Stables,
00:45the breeders of three-time Grade 1 winner Bast and also Grade 2 winner
00:49Mutasabek. Here's a colt out of Secret No More, bred by Mackmer Hall, who has
00:55brought us Teppan, Gina Romanica, Search Results, Gift Box, Premium Tap, all Grade
01:011 winners and more. Next up, this is a filly out of Joyfully. Joyfully is a
01:07half-sister to graded stakes winners Divine Oath and Anti-Joy. And Joyfully's
01:11third dam is Personal Ensign. This filly was bred by International Equities
01:15Holding. This is a Winchell Thoroughbreds filly out of Adirondack Stakes winner
01:20Just Wicked. This little girl's a three-quarter sister to multiple Grade 2
01:25winner and a million and a half dollar earner Wicked Halo. And last but not
01:30least, here's the firstborn foal by Epicenter. This colt's dam, Mongolian Rose,
01:34is a half-sister to Schuylerville winner Georgie's Angel and Bourbon winner Lawn
01:38Ranger. The breeders of this colt, Mulholland Springs and Tom Grether Farms.
01:45Zoe, you'll be looking at these along with others. Any thoughts? And honestly,
01:52the one thing that struck me about the Epicenter foals is that they have a lot
01:56of length to them and a lot of leg. Now, anytime you look at a foal, you rarely
02:01see an ugly-looking foal. I think I am the only person on earth that's ever bred
02:05an ugly foal, looked like a kangaroo coming out. So, the breeding game is over
02:11for me. But almost any foal, the jury's out until you see them a little bit
02:16later on. But I will say the Epicenter foals have a good bit of length and a
02:20lot of leg. So, there is an awful lot to like about them. Just don't buy any foals
02:24that I've bred because they make really nice show horses about four years down
02:29the road.
