Coolmore has acquired a minority interest in Thirstforlife (Stay Thirsty), who was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' after a 6 1/2-length maiden win at Churchill Downs June 4 for owners Gary Barber and Vincent Viola's St. Elias Stable. Bloodstock agent Justin Casse brokered the transaction. Thirstforlife will remain with trainer Mark Casse and is on target for the Aug. 13 GII Best Pal S. at Del Mar after working five furlongs at Churchill Sunday in 1:00.60 (2/20). The juvenile became the second winner for his Coolmore-based freshman sire Stay Thirsty when he graduated second-time out in Louisville. In his debut, he closed strongly to be third after stalling at the gate in the May 5 Kentucky Juvenile S. Bred by Camas Park Stud, the $240,000 Keeneland November weanling is out of Promenade Girl (Carson City) and is a half-brother to GI Ogden Phipps S. winner Cavorting (Bernardini).
