Graded SW Maybry's Boy to enter stud in 2008
at Highcliff Farm at $2,500 fee with a MAJOR INCENTIVE OF $10,000
awarded at the conclusion of the 2008 breeding season*
(12/4) RCH Stables' graded-winning Broad Brush stallion, MAYBRY'S
BOY, will enter stud for 2008 at Carl Lizza Jr.'s and Joseph
Bartone's Highcliff Farm in Delanson, New York, standing for $2,500,
live foal - payment of which entitles participation in a drawing
for $10,000 following the conclusion of the 2008 breeding season.
Each purchased season represents a drawing right for a $10,000 bonus
award. Maybry's Boy, a super-durable gray/roan 16.2-hand sprinter,
won on Aqueduct's inner track in 2006 but was retired too late to
stand the 2007 season. The striking-looking stallion was clearly
among the fastest of four-time Grade 1 winner Broad Brush's 93 stakes
winners - a group that includes 2007 top-five second-crop sire (in
both lifetime and 2007 progeny earnings) Include, sire of 2007 Grade
1 turf and synthetic surface winner Panty Raid ($1,020,275).
Bred by Jonabell Farm and the late John Franks and purchased by
Randy Hill (RCH Stables) for $220,000 at Keeneland's 2000 September
yearling sale, Maybry's Boy won Gulfstream Park's graded six-furlong
Spectacular Bid Stakes over future Grade 2 winner Showmeitall for
Hall of Fame trainer Claude "Shug" McGaughey. Less than seven weeks
prior to that graded victory, the then-two-year-old Maybry's Boy
had broken his maiden by six lengths at Aqueduct in 1:22-3/5 for
seven furlongs. Although a winner for six consecutive seasons who
posted a triple-digit Beyer figure, Maybry's Boy ($322,700) had
a horrendous break in Gulfstream's Grade 1 Fountain of Youth about
six weeks after his Spectacular Bid victory and was never quite
the same following a subsequent layoff of almost a year. He is the
first of four winners produced from graded runner-up and six-time
winner Aly's Conquest ($242,720), who is by Alydar and is a half-sister
to stakes winner Iroquois Park and to the dam of stakes winner Sariano.
His second dam (maternal granddam) is multiple graded winner and
Grade 1-placed Am Capable ($410,733).
