After a successful first two books of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, Tiz The Law kept his momentum going when Spangled Banner brought $1 million from Al Ruwais Stables to be the most expensive offering of the final three books of the sale. The stallion was also the sire of the weanling session topper in the same session the mare sold in. Offered by Bluewater Sales carrying to Tiz the Law on a March 8 cover, Spangled Banner received a huge update in October thanks to 2-year-old son U. S. S. Valor, who won the Gr.1 Champagne S. That colt is Spangled Banner’s fifth winner from six runners and, even more impressively, the second Grade 1 horse for the Tiz Wonderful mare alongside Grade 1-placed Expressman. Spangled Banner is one of two Grade 1 producers out of Eastern Ruckus, whose daughters include the stakes placed dam of Grade 1 winner Curalina with another stakes winning daughter producing stakes winner Lady Echo. "I was speaking to two very good judges last night and they thought that's where she would land. You had to have a go; she's in foal to a good sire. I hope she's lucky,” said Bertie Butler. Tiz The Law’s weanlings also proved popular, led by a $375,000 colt purchased by Tioga Bloodstock, Bred by OPA Bloodstock, Narola, and Grouseridge out of four-time winner Teasin’ Tesla, the colt topped the fifth session of the sale when bringing nearly $100,000 than Golden Pal’s $285,000 weanling filly session topper. This is the second foal out of that Will Take Charge daughter of multiple stakes winner Miss Atlantic City, who produced eight winners overall. Miss Atlantic City’s runners are led by stakes winner and Grade 2-placed Miss Southern miss, who produced two stakes winners herself. The colt’s extended family includes Grade 1 winners Cotton Blossom and Ceiling Crusher and Grade 3 winner Vicarage, among others.
