Bred in California by Richard Barton Enterprises and Robert Traynor, Nuestro Engreido is out of the North Light mare Just Heavenly.

Cat Burglar, a newly-turned 12-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song, stands at Barton Thoroughbreds in Santa Ynez, Calif., for a $2,500 fee in 2022. Another chestnut, Cat Burglar was a stakes winner of $538,720 who placed in numerous graded stakes. He raced from ages 3 to 8.

From his first crop of runners, four have started. Besides Nuestro Engreido, who has earnings of $49,566 with a 1-1-2 record in nine starts, Westcoast Gangster has placed for the sire, finishing a debut second in his lone start at Los Alamitos Race Course during that track’s Thoroughbred summer meet
