Ocala Stud’s Gretzy The Great Sires First Winner

Wait 5 sec.

Mitts (Gretzy the Great), a well-beaten albeit rallying third in his debut over course and distance May 22, picked up the first win for his freshman sire (by Nyquist) Saturday via disqualification. The 5-1 shot was a close-up third up the backstretch while just a length back of pacesetter Watson (Brethren).Tipped outside of that rival to make a run into the final furlong, Mitts had to take up and redirect inside as Watson drifted out into him. Continuing to rally but unable to make up the deficit, Mitts wound up a length back of Watson on the wire.As a result of both a stewards' inquiry and a claim of foul by Diego Herrera against Samy Camacho, the result was flipped with Mitts awarded the win and Watson dropped to second.The half-brother to 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' and $1.8-million 2024 OBS March topper Nooni (Win Win Win), GSW, $212,400, Mitts is the first winner for freshman sire and Canadian champion 2-year-old colt Gretzy the Great who stands at Ocala Stud.This is also the family of Grade I winners Discreet Cat (Forestry), Discreetly Mine (Mineshaft) and Awesome Maria (Maria's Mon). Unanimity has a yearling full-sister to Nooni and foaled a Girvin colt this spring.2nd-Gulfstream, $68,200, Msw, 6-13, 2yo, 5f, :59.58, ft, 1 length.MITTS (g, 2, Gretzky the Great–Unanimity, by Union Rags) Sales History: $15,000 2yo '26 OBSMAR.
