The first reported foal for GI Preakness Stakes hero Rombauer (Twirling Candy) is a filly born at Porta Pia Farm in Lexington, it was announced via press release Saturday afternoon.
Out of a daughter of a French Listed-placed half-sister to two-time champion MGISW Covfefe (Into Mischief), herself the dam of SW Ellen Jay (Constitution), the filly was born Jan. 24. The second dam's siblings also include MGSW & MG1SP-Jpn Albiano (Harlan's Holiday), whose claim to fame as a broodmare comes in the form of her own daughter, GSW-Jpn Avverare (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}).
The dam, Crazy Passion (Fed Biz), is a half-sister to SP Daylight Ride (El Prado {Ire}) and a winner in Japan named Erika Endive (Oscar Performance). She hails from the immediate female family of GISW Acoma (Empire Maker) and GISW Arch (Kris S.), and is the extended family of MGSW Campaign (Curlin) and GSP Golden Afternoon (Goldencents). The Rombauer filly is her first foal.
Rombauer stood the past southern hemisphere breeding season at Haras Porta Pia in Chile and covered 60 mares.
