Stellar Wind (Curlin), who topped last month's Keeneland November Sale when selling to Coolmore's M.V. Magnier for $6 million, remains in training and has joined the south Florida barn of trainer Chad Brown with an eye towards the Jan. 27 $16-million GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational S.
“Stellar Wind is under consideration for the Pegasus, but the plan is still for her to be bred in the spring,” Coolmore's Scott Calder confirmed Sunday.
In her first work for Brown, Stellar Wind went four furlongs in :50.00 (19/22) at Palm Meadows Sunday.
The 5-year-old mare, Eclipse champion sophomore filly of 2015, has won six Grade I races during her career. She won this year's GI Clement L Hirsch S., GI Beholder Mile S. and GI Apple Blossom H. for Hronis Racing and trainer John Sadler and was most recently eighth in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff.
She is expected to be bred to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah next spring.
