RESURGE (Constitution) is the latest offspring to the races for Juddmonte out of the champion mare Close Hatches who has already produced this runner's three-quarter Tapit siblings–Tacitus, 'TDN Rising Star' Scylla and Batten Down. Close Hatches herself is a full-sister to SW/MGISP Lockdown who has found success as a broodmare as well by producing dual champion mare Idiomatic (Curlin). The blue-blooded family also includes G1 Tattersalls Irish Two Thousand Guineas victor Siskin (First Defence).
Amongst those lined up to oppose her is Endorse (Curlin), a $375,000 Repole Stable purchase out of KEESEP in 2023 who is a half-sister to SW/MGSP Jace's Road (Quality Road). She joins Lost Horizon (Into Mischief) for Peter Brant, a daughter of Chilean Horse of the Year Wow Cat (Chi) who came to White Birch Farm for $1.7m from FTKNOV in 2019. They join the rail-drawn Godolphin homebred Ragtime (Union Rags), a half-sister to GSW Snowbell (Tapit). TJCIS PPS
