from Red Clover Bloodstock. The gray colt is a half-brother to Puerto Rican

champion Triano (Pioneering). He is out of So Re So (Relaunch), a daughter of

multiple Grade 3 winner Do So (Nodouble) and a half-sister to stakes-placed

Crown Doer (Chief's Crown).

Cataloged as Hip 2952, the Kentucky-bred was consigned by Brereton C.

Jones/Airdrie Stud, agent.
