From Barton Thoroughbreds
SANTA YNEZ, Calif. (Apr. 20, 2018) —Cat Burglar has been retired sound from racing and will enter stud for the 2018 season at Barton Thoroughbreds for $2,500 live foal stands and nurses.
The multiple graded stakes placed son of Unbridled’s Song has lifetime earnings of $538,720, including winning the Santana Mile Stakes at Santa Anita in 2016 for owner Michael Lund Petersen and trainer Bob Baffert.
“He has perfect conformation and a great pedigree. Cat Burglar was able to sprint or run a mile and a half with the best company,” said Baffert.
Cat Burglar is out of the unraced Be My Prospect (by Forest Wildcat), a half-sister to stakes-winning sprinter Away (the dam of Grade 2 winner and Kentucky Derby runner-up Eight Belles) and stakes-winning turf performer Rich Find.
Barton Thoroughbreds is pleased to add a stallion to their roster with this caliber of pedigree and looks forward to supporting him with mares. Cat Burglar is available for inspection at the farm in Santa Ynez, California.
