Dreaming of Anna retired Champion DREAMING OF ANNA (Rahy) has been retired. Owned and bred by Frank Calabrese, the four-year-old filly compiled a 17-10-3-1 mark with $2,024,550 in earnings. She will take up broodmare duty at Three Chimneys Farm near Midway, Kentucky. "She's happy, healthy and sound," trainer Wayne Catalano told Daily Racing Form. Named champion two-year-old filly following an unbeaten season in 2006 that was capped by a convincing score in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), Dreaming of Anna garnered a total of nine stakes wins, including tallies in the 2007 Virginia Oaks and Pucker Up S. (G3). She opened her 2008 campaign with consecutive victories in the Endeavour S. (G3) and Hillsborough S. (G3) and added the Mint Julep H. (G3) this summer. The Kentucky-bred chestnut also finished second in last year's Queen Elizabeth II Invitational Challenge Cup S. (G1). She concluded her racing career with a sixth in last Friday's First Lady S. (G1). "She's the biggest money winner I've owned, and she ranks right up there with my favorite horse," Calabrese said. Dreaming of Anna counts multiple Grade 2 hero Lewis Michael, who will make his next start in the Breeders' Cup following his last-out win in the Pat O'Brien H. (G2) at Del Mar, as a full brother. She's out of the multiple stakes-winning Justenuffheart (Broad Brush), who is a half-sister to 2004 champion turf horse Kitten's Joy (El Prado [Ire]).
