Multiple Grade I-placed 'TDN Rising Star' Straight Fire (Dominus–Tricky Indy, by A.P. Indy) has been retired and will stand at Pete and Evelyn Parrella's Legacy Ranch in Clements, California.
Bought for $250,000 by Solis/Litt Bloodstock as a Fasig-Tipton July yearling, the bay broke his maiden by 10 1/2 lengths with a 98 Beyer last August at Del Mar to earn his 'Rising Star' badge before running second in the GI Del Mar Futurity and third in his final start, the GI FrontRunner S. at Santa Anita. He retires with one win from four starts and $146,400 in earnings.
“Straight Fire showed precocity, speed and brilliance in his brief career, all attributes that appeal to California breeders,” said Pete Parrella. “He's a spectacular physical specimen standing at 16.2 hands, and his pedigree is free of Northern Dancer.”
Straight Fire has been syndicated and will be supported by Legacy Ranch, Jim Rome's Jungle Racing, Larry, Nanci and Jaime Roth's LNJ Foxwoods, Kim and Kevin Nish's KMN Racing, Andrew Molasky, Rigney Racing, Equine Analysis and Solis/Litt Bloodstock. He will stand in 2018 for $3,500 LF.
“Straight Fire was a 'wow' horse as an auction yearling and he was one of the best 2-year-olds of his crop. We have a great syndication that believes in the horse and will give him every chance to succeed.” said Jason Litt.
