Another one purchased by Tom McCrocklin, the colt saw an update after the catalog was released when his half-brother Let My People Go won the Karl Boyes Stakes. The gelding was already stakes placed as one of three stakes horses out of Taboo. The mare’s seven winners also include Grade III placed Der Lu and the stakes placed Smartly Agree, who also produced stakes placed Towhead.

This colt’s second dam is the Grade I winner Dream of Summer, who produced three graded stakes winners in the Grade I winning duo of Creative Cause and Vexatious and Grade II winner and Grade I runner up Destin with her Uncle Mo filly Summer Promise also Grade III placed. Uncle Mo is also the sire of a two-time winning half-sister to this colt.
