From Legacy Ranch
CLEMENTS, Calif. (Jan. 6, 2017) — Owner Vince Scuderi announced today that his multiple graded stakes-winning homebred millionaire Dads Caps will join the California stallions ranks at Legacy Ranch.
Dads Caps is a seven-year-old son of Discreet Cat, out of the multiple stakes producing Grindstone mare Seeking the Silver. Dads Caps’ multiple graded stakes winning half-sister Paulassilverlining recently passed the million-dollar mark in earnings, winning the Garland of Roses Stakes. In her previous start, she was third in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint and is currently Eclipse Award nominated in her division.
Dads Caps won or placed in 14 stakes—all on the NYRA circuit, while accumulating $1,110,467 in lifetime earnings. Dads Caps won back-to-back editions of the Grade 1 Carter Handicap in 2014 and 2015, and narrowly missed the hat trick with a close third-place finish in 2016.
“We had a tremendous run with Dads Caps,” said Scuderi. “For four seasons he took on the best sprinters of his generation and his record is a testament to his consistency and heart. I’m excited about the potential he brings to his new career at stud and very pleased to join Dick Barton in this endeavor.”
“Naturally we’re delighted to be able to bring a horse of Dads Caps’ caliber to California,” said Dick Barton. “He has great eye appeal and his natural speed fits the mold of horses that have succeeded in California. We plan to support him with a sizeable book of mares.”
