Old Line Magic

Why We Bought This Horse

NOTE: THIS WAS NOT A CLAIM.   This is a yearling that was purchased at the Mid-Atlantic Fasig Tipton 2017 Yearling Auction -- HIP # 405 

Why Did We Buy Her?

• This filly comes from the family Ah Day and Ben's Cat.  Top flight runner's that are Mid-Atlantic legends.
• She is a Street Magician filly, so that means it is MD-Million sired and MD-bred.   This qualifies us for MAXIMUM bonuses.
• The horse had a great conformation with an evenly balanced body and straight, clean walk.
• For the price point and value many experienced folks thought we walked away with a steal.
• We bought this horse to race, not pinhook.

Tidbits from the Pedigree

Pedigree report created by Housantonic Bloodstock:

Old Line Magic is sired by Street Magician, who stands at stud in Maryland after scoring his biggest racetrack success here in Pimlico's Grade 3 Hirsch Jacobs Stakes.  He won two other stakes races from a total of five wins in ten starts, those victories coming from 5 furlongs to 7 furlongs, on dirt and all-weather.  In just four crops of racing age, Street Magician has sired the stakes winners Rockin Jojo, My Magician, and Do What I Say.  Street Magician is a son of Street Cry, who was the sire of Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense (now a leading sire himself), and of Grade 1 winner Street Boss (sire of Maryland-bred Kentucky Oaks winner Cathryn Sophia).

Old Line Magic's dam, Juice, is a daughter of the A.P. Indy stallion Crowd Pleaser, and Juice is therefor a three-quarter sister to the Grade 3, eight-time stakes winner of 14 races and just shy of $1 million, Ah Day (who also placed in a Grade 1 race and a pair of Grade 2s), and a half-sister to the stakes winner of $359,160, Due.  Juice's dam is a half-sister to Grade 2, eight-time stakes winner Thirty Eight Go Go, to Grade 3 winner Notches Trace (herself the dam of stakes winner Jive Talker), and to the stakes-placed Twofox, who is better known as the dam of Maryland legend Ben's Cat, a four-time Grade 3 winner, 26-time stakes winner, and 32-time winner of $2.6 million.

Given these family lines, Old Line Magic looks likely to be best suited as a sprinter who might stretch to a mile, and she ought to be able to handle both turf and dirt.  Though there are some family members who have had early success, the hallmark of this family is that they can stay sound and successful for a long time.
